Thanks to VAbronconut.
After many suggestions from friends and having time to get some 5/16 hose:
I followed VAbronconut's advice. I insulated the fuel line with a 5/16 rubber hose. I still have the JCWhitney fuel line insulation coming in the mail, I may not use it.
symptoms: she would tun good for 10 mins or anytime on the HGWY, but when I would slow down to stop, she would stall. I couldn't get her to start again. I would wait several mins, she would fire up and go a little further and then stall again.
This 105 plus Las Vegas heat is a killer.
Fix:
I slit the rubber hose down the middle and put it on the metal fuel line leaving the carb to the fuel pump that is on the block of the engine.
I then put another piece on the fuel line leaving the fuel pump that goes under the firewall and is very close to the exhaust. I will finish insulating all the way back to the tank soon.
Now that she is running, I am unsure if I will us the JcWhitey item or just leave what I currently have.

Re: 84 BII rides again
when my 84 started doing that i just bypassed the manual and installed an HVLP electric by my fuel cell.
