If I start the car every 4 or 5 days , its fine. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem with pump gas? If so, any solutions??
Its a very common problem so more than likely the answer is yes, it's todays fuel. Fix? Electric fuel pump will usually reduce the start up time to a minimum. Not the best choice if trying to keep everything 100% stock but it works.

That isn't a problem specific to Hemis, pretty much anything with a carburetor and a mechanical fuel pump these days has similar issues. It's especially common with winter grade fuel in the spring/summer. If my D100 sits for more than a week I dump a tiny bit of gas down the carb throat, it's usually enough for it to stay running until the float bowl fills up.

Thanks for your help guys. I wouldn`t mind the addition of an electric pump as long as I could hide it out of sight and its not too loud. some of them are really noisy.
it will definitely be out of sight because you have to install it back at the fuel tank pickup point , above the axle is the best place , try to get one that doesn't need a regulator.

If you suspect the fuel, spike it with some 'real' gasoline...
