Hard hot starting.

I found that if you are using an MSD distributor that the center electrode in the cap will go away resulting in a hard start hot also.

What do you mean when you say it will go away? That is the type I have. I am curious.
Anyway the " no gas pedal & fuel pump off " did'nt work for me. I think the foot to the floor will be best! Not a real big deal, she does start..........eventually

After reading this post I fired up the car from a cold start and let it warm up to operating temperature. After letting it sit for an hour I attempted a restart with the fuel pump off and no touch on the gas pedal. Viola!!!! it fired right up.
Then I shut it down and restarted after pumping the gas pedal a couple of times. It started but it was not smooth.
The moral of the story for me is to keep my foot off the gas on hot restarts.

Thanks again guys
