Good clean grounds are important. If the no start problem tracks with heat, I'd look at the grounds first, followed by a close inspection of the fusible links. Heat causes things to expand (grow) and if the links are marginal, they could be losing connection with heat. Next after that would be the starter extension harness connection on the firewall just to the right of the distributor. It's in a perfect place to get really hot. I've seen a number of them the connectors were smoked.
