 | Hard Start Okay so Chevy is notoious for hard starting starters. Heat Soak ,whatever you wanna call it. I replaced my standard starter with a high torque mini, supposedly to solve the heat sink issue. No good. Its still hard pressed to turn over when it gets hot. So, I wonder, if I install a MSD Ignition system, will that make my truck easier to start? Should I use a heat shield? Someone suggested a remote Ford solenoid?Someone please help before I go nuts!!!! Mark  |

 | Have you played with the timing? pushing the timing to far can cause a hot hard start, 2-4 degrees at the limit can mean a lot |
