RE: Hard to hot start 390 w/MSD-6AL

Bill, The MSD produces multiple sparks in the low RPM range and should fire that engine right up, are you running headers? some headers on FE applications run so close the starter it gets heat soaked and draws the voltage way down during cranking, the MSD is a great unit but it is voltage sensitive, make sure you have chosen a good spot to tap the heavy positive feed to the box, and the voltage on that wire does not drop too much, other than that check the basics timming and distibutor phasing. Good Luck
