Hi: I have a 1967 Olds Cutlass 2 door coupe with a '69 350 v-8 installed. Gradually replacing engine parts and bought and had installed an Edelbrock #7111 performer intake manifold and #1406 4 bbl electric choke carb. Then replaced mechanical OE fuel pump and new fuel filter, Edelbrock air cleaner. Runs well but the problem is an awfully hard start with at least five pumps to the floorboard and after I run it, turn it off and try to restart it still starts hard. Any ideas? Other than that it's a beaut and makes me feel like a kid again!
