Now that I think a bit more about it, I had a hot starting problem for a long time on my '78 and I'd suspected that the injectors were leaking down at rest. Then last spring the battery died. I got a good used one from BobD and haven't had any problem since. Car starts instantly when hot. I decided that the problem may have been that the battery was marginal, and it didn't have enough power to crank the engine _and_ deliver enough power to the fuel pump to fully pressurize the injectors.
The fuel system is supposed to hold a certain pressure for 20 minutes after shutting it off. There is a spec in the manual. If it doesn't hold that pressure until the engine is cooled enough, the fuel in the injector lines will vaporize.
