Default Engine heat

Hello everyone

I've recently purchased a late 1965 408, which I am delighted with, except for one small thing; it doesn't start at all well, especially when warm.

Is this a common thing and is there an easy fix? I am aware the Carter AFB carb can suffer from heat soak and fuel vapourisation.

I was considering fitting a phenolic spacer between the head and the carb. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very interested to hear.

Best regards

Marsh
