Default Questions???

I bought a 96 corvette last summer. The vehicle pretty much sat in the garage during the winter. May 2020 i had several problems with the vehicle starting. I replaced the battery (Optima Redtop) new starter (wrapped to shield from heat), spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and water pump. The vehicle ran good for several weeks. On very hot I will drive the vehicle for about and hour and park it the garage. After sitting for thirty minutes the vehicle will not start. Once the vehicle cools off two/three hours later it will start.

I was going to upgrade there starter to a mini high torque starter and wrap it again.
Any help will be appreciated..
