Flooding problem

I have a 70's 13B 4 port with a big streetport. Car starts fine but after driving hard for 20-30 min and shut it off the car will not start. I have to let it sit for 20-30 min before it will start again. What is going on? Holley fuel pump and regulator. I need some advise or things to try to fix it. Running 63 primary and 60 secondary jets with fuel pressure set at 4 1/2 psi.

Thanks, Gonzz

Check compression while it's hot.

I would also look if the fuel is heating up too much.It might seem like its flooding,but the fuel is boiling
Do you have a heatshield underneath the carb ?
