Hot start problem - What else can I do?

Let's narrow it down a bit.  Are you getting good spark when it doesn't
start?  Are the plugs wet when it won't start?  When you loosen the fuel
line do you have evidence of good pressure (spray)?  If you get it to fire
on ether does it run after the ether clears?  (It will run on ether without
spark or fuel)

Some more components I was told to check for my hot start problem:
Oxygen sensor
Hall effect sensor on distributor (loose/dirty connector)
Vacuum lines & connectors (soften when hot)
Loose distributor
Distributor drive cam on crank ($!)
