I may be wrong ,but looking up the factory carb On your car it shows it has a bowl vent. If adjusted and working correctly it should solve your heat soak problems.

A quick easy cheap way to keep heat away From carb, 3/4" plywood, a carb gasket, lay out pattern of said gasket, cut out, longer studs for said 3/4 difference, Problem should be gone....
"The phenomenon known as "heat soak" occurs when the engine is turned off. At this time, the combustion process is terminated. This terminates the momentum of the crankshaft, which in turn stops the turning of the water pump. As the coolant is no longer being circulated, the engine block and cylinder temperature increase for a period of approximately 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the engine design and additional components." http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/attac...ervoir-after-i-switch-off-engine-heatsoak.pdf
I get heat soaked every time I walk out the door here lately. Finally going to cool down to 95 today.
Learned the nomenclature back in High School Automotive Shop. Had no idea the terminology had been lost through the years. Thank you for enlightening the uninitiated. Ron
The NASCAR tech inspectors called it heat soak too. If we were getting puffed after a race the car had to be cooled down to a certain point so the test would be accurate. My cars tended to run cooler than most but we still needed to keep them running and pour cold water over the radiator tanks, so we could pass the test and get paid.
