Could this also be related to percolating / vapor lock / fuel boiling?

These issues are a lot more prevalent at the higher altitudes. I see you are in TX at 425 feet. Lowers the possibility but doesn't remove it.

You had it idling for a long time without issues. One would think it would cause more heat than the sun.

Distributor in good shape? Do you have another you can try? Just worked on one where the lower bushing had failed.
