If this is the case, would maybe holding the throttle part to full way down to the floor help? I think that's what Ma Mopar recommends in the manuals.

My '55 does the same thing after a drive. Let it sit for a few minutes and it won't start, but turns over slowly. After cooling, it will start (if there is any juice in the 6-volt battery left!) and it will also start when cold. I wonder if the car is vapor locking at the carb-especially if the carb leaks a little gas down the manifold-
