I had the same trouble  (very unpleasant

)and did a lot of things including what you did.

Finally I resolve 100% the trouble with; changing the valley pan (intake manifold) with Fel Pro  no.1215 this gasket block the manifold heat crossover and putting a aluminium intake.Whenever the engine is hot or cold it start the same at once I turn the key.........fantastic.The only thing that I don't know is what happen if only the valley pan would be changed

 Hoping that it willl help you good luck and excuse my english.

Perhaps the ignition coil is faulty once it gets hot.....

After my 68 imperial has warmed up from running about 15 minutes it occasionally will not start for about 20 minutes.  I have done a lot of work to try to fix this.  I removed the intake manifold, replaced the valley pan and painted the manifold.  I installed a spacer between the carb and adjusted the floats in the carb.  I checked the heat riser, it is broken and laying in what i assume is the open position, all the way back and it does not move when i rev the engine.  Also the heat running through the manifold exhaust port makes the manifold so hot it discolored my engine paint job! I checked and the exhaust ports in the heads and manifold are free and clear of obstruction .  I do not know what to do now! please help
