My 67 BB wouldn't crank when hot either so I added a bolt on heat shield and made sure my timing was right. No more problem. On the fly wheel you could get under the car, mark one tooth and start counting. It's probably a 168 tooth.

Solved my problem on '67 with heat shield wraped on the starter. Have had no problems since. 454 with headers was tough to crank before, easy now. Jb
