What EXACTLY is vapor lock, and what is heat sink coil? I like the copper, however if I use rubber fuel line it would eliminate one of the short sections of fuel line and 2 clamps.

...As for the heat sink coil, I'm not sure if thats what it's actually called, but it's the black spring looking thing that is around the rubber portions of the fuel lines. I guess it probably serves two purposes. 1) It helps disipate heat and 2) it protects the fuel line from hot surfaces.

Hope this has been of some help.

Just my .02, but, I kinda thought the spring thing was to protect the fuel line from abrasion from all the other lines and wires it is vibrating against right near the carb. Most manufactures use some kind of protection around rubber fuel lines where they may come into abrasive contact with other components of the vehicle to prevent the line being worn through.
