I feel your pain man. I had similar problem: Here is what I did, purchased a Hi-Torque starter from Summit Racing, installed the heat shiled on it changed the 2nd solenoid, installed a 1/2" phenolic spacer between the carb and manifold, changed the gas filter element and now it is fine. The issue is really for the most part vapor lock, the engine gets hot (but not overheated) and the gas boils in the line as well as the carb when you try to start the car-----zippo nothing. There is another trick slapp the accelerator 2-3 times (no choke) and try to start it wil go. Naturally you also need to ensure that your timing, battery cables are ok . Hope it helps.
