What a bad coil?Ive come across same symptoms and that was the case.
The car starts fine when cold. If it was the coil it would be the same symptom when it was cold. But, just to make sure, use that same multi-meter and check the DC voltage at the coil when it is hot. It should be just under 10 volts DC.
So, there you are. It is most likely one of these guys.
1. Timing too advanced
2. Vapor Lock
3. Hot starter
4. Bad coil.

Let us know which one it is.
/agreed

My coil went bad on me and boom - nothing. Hot or cold she wasn't starting.

Do you have headers? Your starter might be getting heat-soaked.

i may have this issue as well, after car is hot, it is hard to start, headers are on. Does that heat rap work well on the starter, or is it just a bandade till i can get money for a good starter.

Like I said, it is eaither the starter is drawing too many amps (heat soaked= no good) or the cables/ground is shot.
