If the hole at the top surface of the filter can is much more than what you could make with a needle it may be too large and is bleeding off the pump pressure when the return line is open. I just looked in a spare filter I have and I doubt the hole is 1/64 inch.
My Dec. 1966 Baltimore built '67 has original HD cooling and the vapor return is off the filter. No vapor lock issues or hot run issues at all. Works great. Click image for larger version
