Pre War Starting problem

My 41 won't start when it is hot. If I allow it to cool for about 1/2 hour, it starts fine but if I try sooner, It plain won't start. Pete tells me he has the same problem with his convert coupe. Anyone got any suggestions???

It could be possibly a faulty coil, I have hear that when coils fail the tend to do that. I haven't had any do that on my cars yet. Another possibility might be vapor lock, though I doubt it, you can test both with some raw gas dribbled down the carb, if it trys to fire the coil is okay, Or you could try swapping the coil with a known good one and see if problem goes away.

If it is vapor locking, about the only thing I would suggest is a elect fuel pump back by the gas tank.

"Precious" vapor locked years ago on a Denver to Brighton run, we were on our way home on highway 85 and she died ( think turning off the ign.), long story short, we ended up towing her home, when we got her off the trailer, she started right up. For some reason she doesn't like A. three people, B. high altitude, C. highway speeds of 50 MPH all combined, who'd a thunk.....
