Ok Guys heres what I have,
It's a STOCK 1957 Ford Failane 500 with a rebuilt 292 and I'm running 3 new real Stromberg's  not the Chinese one!!! garbage!!!  on an Offenhouser manifold all is set up great and it runs great!! My issue is that if I go to a cruise and shut her down for a bout an hour she's hard to start. I tried not pumping the gas also pumping the gas but it just seems like it takes a long turn over of the engine to fire her up.
I have an electric fuel pump that I turn on and Strombergs love 2.5 lbs fuel regulated thats ok
I,have even taken off my air filters to see if they smoke down indicating a leak down of the carbs and flooding but they don't!?
So what's up next?
Timing is dead on
someone suggested plugs?
I running a pointless mallory disrtib with a high voltage coil
Plugs are gaped at 32 someone said gap at 35/40?
Help what do you guys think???
