I have a 79 bronco with a 351m.. just bought it and the guy said the motor had been rebuilt a few years ago but he never really drov it much.. when i drive it for about 30 miles it dosent want to start again, someone said it may be out of time..starts fine when its cold..the it's like the motor wont hardly turn over at all, but it finally starts..not the battery it had a 1750 CCA from a school bus..i've adjusted the timing a little bit but no help...is there any chance it's the starter when it gets hot??/ any idea's???
