I have a Super A that I painted in 2000 with PPG Delstar. I now need to put an overhaul kit in the motor and am going to end up needing to paint the block. This was my first paint job and I left a few areas thin. I thought about removing the sheet metal and accessories and cleaning it good with degreaser and recoating the entire chassis. Can I spray right over the Delstar with a fresh coat of the same paint or will I need to seal the paint first?

It might be a good idea to go over any flat, shiny spots with either #240 sand paper or a scuff pad (red), before you refinish it. A good wash with mineral spirits or Pre-Kleano after sanding it, and after all is ready to paint, will keep greasy hand and fingerprints off the finish. And any other grease or oil, too. DO NOT WASH WITH GASOLINE! Gasoline leaves an oily residue on anything you want to paint. And, unless you use a fisheye eliminator(Trade name "Smoothie") in the paint, your paint job will look like tapioca pudding when it dries, or even fisheyes!
