spark is not consistant when hot is 66 383 same distributor as 74 440

what signals the coil to spark ?? the coil has lots of spark cold almost none hot (does not want to start when hot any more) i even put cold coil when engine was hot still would not start i've been trying all the things suggested!!! when engine is hot something won't let coil spark !!! hhmmmm
