Vapor lock cure for carbed engines

I'm making a "cool-can" for my '87 c10,because I was tired of having vapor-lock on hot days.
It is basically like the old style ,except it doesn't use ice in the can . It's a sealed unit,much like a miniature cooling system for the engine,and uses DEX-COOL.
I hope to have it done in the next few days,and I'll take pics as I go,so others can try it. I made one, last summer,for my cousin's truck(his was doing the same thing),and it seems to have cured the problem.
He has 8k miles on it,after driving to Arizona,and he says it never locked once.
