69 Dart Hard to Start When Hot, Starts Fine Cold. Vapor Lock?

my 225 was terrible for flooding, once it was flooded the only thing that unflooded it, was pull the doghouse, and pull the back 4 plugs, then lite the cylinders off with a propane torch, after that put the plugs back in and it would start right up, as with typical Canadian winters, this got old really fast
Well I shouldda said that my experience was with well-tuned, well-maintained engines, with correctly functioning parts including the chokes.
I too live in Canada, in Southern Manitoba, and one of those slanty cars was a 1980 Volare fb. Of all the carburated winter cars I have owned since 1969, this had to have been the best starting, and among the best driving, and Boy-O-Boy could she buck snow. certainly the best slanty.
I/we, my entire growing-up family, together, drove that car, until she wanted to fold up in the middle, from 1994 to around 2017, by which time, she was a back-up car, but still a great beater..
