hey guys--posted a question a while back that I was having intermittent starting problems, was thinking it was the solenoid. It seemed to not start only when the engine was still hot. Wouldn't try to turn over, nothing. Let it sit for a while, started up fine.
Well, I just remembered that in my 76 I had a similar problem, and a friend told me it was the HEI, and to replace the dizzy cap/rotor/coil, and that fixed the problem. Any ideas?? Starter or HEI??? Not that keen on electrical systems, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
