Trouble Starting

My truck is wierd...When it is cold it will start up just fine, but when i drive it and it gets to about 190 degrees, it hates starting back up again and sometimes won't even start, it isnt a battery because we just bought the battery, Could it be my Distributor or my Starter, I DONT KNOW!!!!!!

Thanks
Jason

350s are notorious for doing that, especially the ones with headers. You may have to install a heat shield on your starter.

sounds like a starter problem to me....the shielding in the starter when it gets hot will expand and if the wiring is weak wont carry the voltage nec. to crank the truck...and when cold everything is back to normal and will start....2 options...

1) replace the starter

2)drive very short distances and not let the starter heat up !!

hope this helps

does it crank or just do nothing. what kind of exhaust are u running. what kind of carb do u have. edelbrocks will allow the fuel to basically be evaporated.
