What gauge cables are you using? 6v systems require the heaviest cables you can buy - 1 gauge or 00 gauge starter cable.

I had a similar problem with my '56 Cadillac some years back. It would not turn over after a drive. It required an hour or so before the starter would work normally. It turned out the be a weak starter. It's worked perfectly after the rebuild for the last 18 years.
