So your Roadrunner passed a lot of gas and fumes. :)
Ignition can be a cause of hot start problems and I've been there too with
some cars.
Nothing like cranking and cranking an engine with nothing firing
then releasing the key and the engine fires.
Simply means there is not enough energy to run all the systems. The cause
could be a low battery, bad connections or a host of other electrical
problems.
There are numerous causes for Hot Start Problems; the carb can be 1,
electrical problems can be another, high altitude can give you a starting
problem all the time.
We just need to be aware of these causes and understanding how they apply to
our individual situations.

I bought a new '69 Ply Roadrunner in 1969. Would pass almost everything
except a gas station. There the fun would begin! The car wouldn't start
until it cooled down some. Was flooded! Secondary heating of the carb
would boil it over and with the amount of gas it held would flood it bad!
I was on a trip to California from MD with the family and had stopped in
Denver to visit relatives. I purchased a Delta Mark 10 CD Ignition system
in a kit, assembled it in the motel room & installed it.
Never a hard hot start again! That Delta would fire a spark under water I
think.
