    472 Hemi question
    « on: July 21, 2017 - 11:24:24 PM »
    I bought a 472 Hemi for my 70 CUDA. I heard it will be very difficult to start after you turn it off after driving it  ( being that it's hot ) ? Is there a fix for this ? Fuel injection ? Or ....????? Thx

    there is an easy fix for any hot engine that has trouble starting.
    usually involves a heat shield on the carb, and phenolic spacer,
    and insulation on the fuel lines. Search this site for a lot of discussion
    on the issue. Good luck!

    also, engine needs to be in tune, with carb properly adjusted,
    and correct timing. Engine must be well grounded.
