Problem solved.

Engine ground strap arrived in the mail and I installed it today from the firewall to the intake. This part was missing when I bought the car a year ago. Hot cranking is now just as good as cold cranking. Just as good as a 12v conversion for my purposes.

Thanks to FordBarn for helping me identify the missing part.

No more fears about restarting after stopping for gas or stalling the engine with bad clutching.
