On the hot start side the 408 and 410 I had had a metal fuel pipe coming into the engine compartment and a rubber pipe connecting this to the carb, all a bit close to the manifold so careful use of cable ties will help to keep these off the manifold.
However all the V8's I have had 408, 410, 411 and 603 benefit from a bit of throttle to catch the engine when it fires when hot, rev it until it settles down and you should have no problems.
If this does not work a new or overhauled carb might be a good idea and you will save yourself a packet and have more choice by ordering direct from the USA.
You should also be able to get a rebuild kit direct from the states as well.
