Engine very cranky!! 😩

duz185The 3331 album

Hello all, it’s been a little while since I posted. Hope all are doing well!

All has been great with the car, except that in the last 6 months or so it has become very hard to start. It used to take 4-5 cranks to start when cold and 2-3 when warm, now it takes 8-12 cranks!! Nothing has been changed on the engine, and once she’s on, she runs awesome! Lots of torque and power, same as always and idles fine. She’s still running the Edelbrock 650 carb with distributor and points. New wires and plugs approx. 2500 miles ago. I just changed oil and all filters just in case, but no help.

I’ve had her for over 16 years and has been very consistent. Put about 800 miles a year. Not a clue why this is happening.🙁

ANY help, advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
