usullly the coil is at fault , if you Have a orginal on the car, I had the same problem. I put a ice pack on the coil for a few minutes and it started up, its worth a shot, a weak coil will also foul the spark plugs, if it starts up when cold and hard when hot, send the coil to SKIP HANEY is my suggestion, this is where I sent mine, my 3cents worth,37RAGTOPMAN

We got our '40 Ford on the road, and its a joy to ride in and drive. We think it runs a little bit on the warm side with a radiator as stock as we could come up with. (Re-cored at a reputable local radiator shop). The engine starts real fine when cold, but after we drive it and warm it up we can shut it off and it’s difficult to start up. We think it floods itself after we shut it off. We also know it's running really rich. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for all the help you guys have given us in the past. Thanks, Allen S.
