Re: Hot starter motor

Could be it’s causing some resistance but I think your timing might be suspect.
I’ve installed an interrupter switch in the power line to the distributor. Get it spinning over and flip the switch and it’ll fire right up.

What is your timing like?

The timing has been adjusted a couple of times by a pretty reputable macanic. It was a couple of times because of a leak in the intake and then the distributor gasket and also because of some sputtering/sneezing sounds under hard acceleration.
