I have a 68 barracuda with a 440. It starts well when cold and runs great for as long as i want. After i stop and it sits a while it won't start. It cranks over well but won't start and it's not overheating. I have an MSD 6AL and MSD distributor. I just replaced the coil, still same problem. There is gas coming through the holley 850. Anyone please give advice on where to start?

Thanks

Have you tried going wide open on the gas pedal
while cranking.... it might be boiling the fuel
(which expands and dumps into the intake making
it a flooded condition) check the float levels.
As said check for spark

It's the msd box! Thanks for the advice. Bypassed the box and it fires up when hot too.
