Angry starts hard when hot-help!

'71 351w, stock 2bbl, starts real hard when hot. It'll cough and spew a little gas and vapor back up the carb a couple of times before it miraculously fires right up and runs great. The lines, fuel pump, fuel filter, and carb bowl are only the littlest bit warm to the touch when the rest of the engine is warm. The cooling system is heavy duty and works fine. The engine has been recently rebuilt and runs strong. Anyone know what's up??

Solve this good and I'll send you a twelve-pack.

Your initial timing is advanced too far. Get a light on it and see what it says.
