My 77 corvette won't start hot. Starts fine after it cools off.

My 77 corvette won't start when hot. It cranks and the carburetor is pushing fuel. Installed all new plugs, wires, rotor, distributor cap, and fuel filter. After it cools off (approx one hour) after I shut it off it starts. Drained the gas tank and poured new clean fuel. Made no difference. Looks like there is hot vapor coming out of the carburetor. Starting fluid doesn't help. It needs to cool off. Never have a problem starting it cold.

Thank you I advance
