Cobra29,
You are making this way to hard !!!!! First MSD makes a start retard module to reduce timing but also try this. On an engine with enough initial timing to bump against the starter just flood it a little. I forgot this only works on carb'd engines but can set electronic injection programing to do the same but that is another issue.
When you jump in to start her up turn key on to run pumps and wait till they turn off (about 3 to 5 seconds as a rule) then pump gas pedal to the floor 2 times. This is just enough to wet plugs a little so starter can gain RPM before it tries to start. The momentum at higher RPM will allow her to fire up without fail, play with yours to find if maybe 3 pumps or just 1 pump will work but IT DOES work.
The old school high compression guys or roots blower guys all have to flood them a bit to start when hot. I had a blown Camero that I hooked a fuel pump to a single injection nozzle mounted in the hat. It had mechanical injection on top of a 6/71 blower with a horn button to turn pump on for a few seconds or until she fired up. When hot I would have to run pump before cranking engine over so it would not bump starter
