I got mine from an aircraft salvage yard right off a Cherokee 140. It's a shroud
with a 1" scat fitting on it. Works great. You also could run a blast tube right
to it from the baffling, should work fine. The most importatnt consideration
is the fuel line proximity to exhaust pipes. Try to shield them if possible.
You can get shields out of Aircraft Spruce...Also in the back of the RV4 builders
manual is the drawing for a vapor return line system for your fuel lines...

I want to thank you all for the many great suggestions regarding my
mogas problems. I am pretty sure vapor lock is the source.
Any ideas about how to better protect/insulate the mechanical fuel
pump on my 0-290 from heat? I have two blast tubes routing air to it.
Are there materials that can be used to fabricate some sort of insulating
'cocoon'around the pump?

I hope you have an electric auxiliary fuel boost pump in your plane. With the
aux. pump ON the fuel line is pressurized to the engine driven pump and vapor
lock incidence is minimized.
A facet 3-4 pound pump is right for carbureted engines.
You don't want to insulate the engine driven pump - it gets heat transfer
from the engine case. As Rob said,you want blast air to cool the pump.
