I've seen the hot start problem caused both by vapor lock and a coil that would crap out when hot.

Well it depends on whether you're talking about humans or cars.
It's a scenario where the heat from the engine essentially vaporizes the liquid fuel within the fuel system. As a result, the fuel pump does not maintain proper fuel pressure and steady flow of gasoline to the carb.

Believe it or not a old way of stopping vapor lock was to put a grapefruit half after you have taken the fruit out on the fuel pump bowl. Acts as grate insulation may not smell real good after a while but it does work. Dave s

Hey Mike,
Your truck looks great - I like the red & black combination - Nice.
I wish I could help you with your - not starting problem but I've got a
more modern drivetrain 351W/AOD. What engine do you have in there?
Hang in there.
