Won't Start When Hot
This topic comes up on a regular basis; the car won't start when the engine is at temperature. I had this problem. I've read all the posts. It can be many things and I tried fixing them all (except one). Nothing worked. I changed the starter, I re-wired the ground to the frame. I checked the battery and all the wiring and connections. Then I redid the ground by running a separate ground wire from the battery directly to the starter. I changed out the solenoid. I put on a heat shield. Nothing worked.
I tried another starter. This time, I went with a Summit Racing mini-starter made for high compression engines (I have a mild 10:1). That fixed it. After dinking with this for a very long time, the stronger starter was the answer. Just FYI for those of you that may be dealing with this.

Pretty common non start issue, at temp. Those little demons can drive you crazy! Glad you got it resolved,
