Default 1967 Fuel Line Help:

I read through a few threads on here, but didn't see anything that fit my question (s) exactly, or I could have overlooked a thread which is highly likely. Anyway, I've got a 1967 Fastback, 390, completely stock. My issue is, if I drive it for more than 10 minutes then stop and turn it off, it wont start back up. Combustion correct? I've heard that re-routing the fuel line will solve this problem. can anyone give me some pointers, ideas, kits that could help solve my problem. I consider my skill level to be "novice" so please excuse me if I ask more questions. Thanks!

Sounds like it may be heat soak or starter field drag.
Does it crank over the same or is it slower when hot?
Will it start hot if you press the gas pedal to the floor and hold it?
Do you have an electric choke on the carb?
Really need a bit more info to get exactly what it does when you try to start it warm.

It cranks slower and slower the more you try to crank and it will eventually just stop cranking.
If you press the gas pedal all the way down and try to start when hot, it won't.
I don't believe the carb has an electric choke. It has the original 1967 Autolite carb.
