This is normal for these older manual pumps and carbs cars. Fuel line comes up front of engine and if compartment is still stock it is packed full so little room for heat to leave once engine off and car is stopped. Just spin the engine a few times to get fresh fuel back up top carb and she should crank fine. Not like a cold start but just spin and let her fire off.
