Fussy hot start

I have a 65 Bird with a 390 that starts fine from cold. 2 pumps of the pedal and away she goes. Once it warms up and driven, when it is shut off and try to restart a short time later, it acts like it is starving. I am afraid to give it gas so it does not flood. Fuel seems to be the answer, does it evaporate off when parked hot? It has a new fuel pump and filter. Other than that, she backfires once in a while for no reason. It did pass the local air inspection recently.

Thanks, Jack
