Part number *9437 Baffle
#16
It has been a long time since I saw one of these shields, my 'f4 did not have it. Looking at the blue engine pictured above by 52Merc, I see what appears to be a part of that shield we're discussing that angles toward the rear from the top part that you show in black. Doesn't that shield go between the manifold and the fuel pump? Would that part of the shield not block heat from the manifold? Perhaps I am not seeing the whole shield, perhaps I am seeing an illusion.
I've never had a vapor lock problem on this truck, but my 2/35 air conditioning prevents me from driving it when it's really hot.
I guess with the cowl vent, it's 3/35 A/C.

The complete shield wraps around the front of the manifolds and continues down over the fuel pump. There is a lower attachment that uses one of the fuel pump bolts (per memory, it has been a decade since I installed one of these). Usually the lower bolt hole is broken off. Installing one did get rid of vapor lock on the 50 sedan I had (I sold it in 2006).
edit: looking at Marauder2004's picture further down this thread it looks like the lower attachment uses the top motor mount bolt.
