Starting problems

make sure your gas lines are staying away from heat sources, might be something there. Is the starter turning over fine? Mine used to get heat soaked and it wouldnt start for awhile until it cooled down.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the reply.
I dont believe it to be a sending unit or gas line problem. The car runs great and idles great. it only seems to happen when i have driven the car and it has warmed up. She cranks over nice. The fuel line is nowhere near any heat. I was wondering if it could be a fuel/idle mixture problem? If the car was running to rich would it put too much fuel into the carb? I'm running with a pertronix pointless system. I dont have a flame thrower coil or anything else. If i was to go out now and start the car she would start right up after a couple of cranks.

Regards

Steve

Same thought on the starter check it to see if it has any silver on the inside of the housing. If so it's heated up one too many times replace it and then get a heat shield for it had this problem with a earlier Mustang I owned although it was a 68.
