My 79 280 SE runs fine when cold, but when hot, misses and idles rough, poor acceleration etc.
Any ideas what might cause this?

Coils have been known to go bad in a failure mode that leaves them working when cold and weak when when hot.
At this age, you probably got a pretty good vacuum leak somewhere... then check all basics... such as distributor cap and rotor... that when it get hot, will misfire... forget what reason... like crack, etc.
