My 1965 ford f100 starts right up when cold with no problems. However after the truck warms up and I turn it off, it won't start back up again for hours sometimes a day. I replaced the fuel filter already. what are some of the areas I should be looking at?

ok, may be fuel related. it may be vapor lock from low fuel pressure. it should be 5 to 7 lbs. anything below can actually be heated up to almost a boil and then you have this issue

put a clear fuel filter in line between the fuel pump and the carb and watch what happens when it is hot
