I've got a phenolic 1/2" spacer under the carb so I don't have a fuel boiling problem. When this happened I checked for spark and had none, and then when the engine cooled down some I'd get the spark back and it'd run. I did a test run yesterday with the replacement coil and it started right up even though the engine was hot. What irks me is that this is a new GM distributor but of course it has a made in Mexico sticker on it.
