carb. problems

I have a 1981 Mustang with a 302 and a 2 barrel Autolite carb. The engine starts fine cold but when it warms up it will not start. Also runs a little rough at idle. Any ideas???? Thanks

could be a few things.. mis-adjusted choke.. sounds like it needs a tune up too.. if it dies when it's hot it's probably the ignition box... the silver thing on the drivers side fender...
