My 69 Roadrunner 383 stock stick car had engine rebuilt about 100 miles ago, so it's brand new. The car starts well when cold, runs very well (like new), but once it is warmed up if I turn it off to get gas etc, it won't easily start. I tried giving it no gas, mild gas, holding pedal down and almost ran my battery down trying to start it again. When I brought it back home it smelled a lot like gas in the garage, but that was after driving it 20 miles since the last time it did not easily start.
Vapor locks are often mentioned, but I am open to where to start. It's no fun to not be able to turn the car off for fear that it will not start again. I use 93 octane gas, but have thought of trying an additive in addition, but would like to hear any thoughts any of you have for this. Thanks
