[33 chev]

I have a 1968 350 vette motor in a 1933 chevy. The car starts fine with an electric fuel pump and pump the accel twice. My problem is when I stop after running it for 3 to 4 miles and stop it, it does not want start back up. I thought the battery was weak put a new one in and did not help. When I fire it up its like a vapor lock. Could the timing be off. It is a double pumper Holley

Do you pump the carb when you restart? does the carb perk after you shut it off?Does the engine turn over quickly or really slow?when hot

Sounds more like you have 'heat soak' of the starter/solenoid. Do you have a heat shield over the solenoid? headers close to starter? Good grounding? ground wire from frame to body to engine?

You could go for putting a Ford solenoid on the side skirt of the fender like Madd enterprises does. http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/st-1.shtml or this one: http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=169390&highlight=ford

Note. 68 Corvettes were a 327, not a 350.

Wont crank. turns over fast but wont fire. Not being specific. Please be verbose in your problem . No mind readers here.

16+ initial timing will give you hot start crank problems. Most driven vehicles that are cammed like 20 initial, but will crank slow when hot. Fix is a starter retard device, or vacuum advance added from manifold source at idle to compensate.
