Hi again
got a 3.5 v8 twin carb starts 1st time every time when cold with very little choke but when run up to temperature and stopped for a few mins struggles to start. Turns over and over and gradually kicks into life after what seems ages 30-50 secs.
Any ideas

does it have electronic igntion? is it the early type with the remote amp under the coil or the latter with the amp on the dissy?

How would I know if running rich? Not electronic ignition got points in 6 month old distributor. What does an amp look like?
