Has your engine been rebuilt (new pistons) recently? If the starter works when cold, then it probably is not the starter. Do you retard the spark when starting the engine hot?

The problem is most likely the ground circuit. As temperature rises so can the resistance in a corroded or dirty connection. Clean the connections. If that does not improve the hot starting then connect a good ground from the starter direct to the battery. That should solve the problem if the connection or current path is the problem.

If the car starts without problem while cold and you have retarded the spark, then don't change anything else about the timing. Am I to understand the car has not been driven very much since the engine was rebuilt several years ago? If so, then it needs to be operated. With some more operating time on the engine it will begin to start easier.
