| hard starting 390 |

Can't figure it out. Everything tells me that the car is in perfect tune. 390- 1961 T-Bird. 5,000 miles on rebuilt 10 over motor. Idle 620 RPM, 16 inches Vacuum rock steady. timing is 6 BDC. Compression is 162 high and 158 low between all cylinders. After sitting 5 minutes, cranks and cranks, just won't catch. If I let go of the key while cranking, it will run, but it just does not start like it should. I just rebuilt the carb, autolite 4100, and it seems to be fine. Once running, it runs great. Pertronix kit barnd new, all new plugs and wires. Verified TDC on Balancer and distributor poining just before #1.
What did I miss?
Thanks!!
Craig
