My wife had one when had just met. All I remember about this tin can was that it used to get vapor locked in hot summers and she would cool the fuel line and the surrounding area by dumping ice water on it and the car will start again. I had never seen anyone dumping ice water on their car engine before.
After that summer experience, it wasn’t too difficult to convince her to get proper car with water cooled engine with an AC inside.
