Well, after a futile search on CL for a GM HEI, I broke down and got a replacement ignition module....$108 bucks, but she starts....I think that I have most of the carb issues found, but when she is hot, you have to floor it and then hold it down for a few seconds to get her to start....I know that this cannot be good for the engine (lacking oil pressure in the first moment of start up).....what am I missing now?
