Re: [FWDLK] Starting Question

[Larry Jett <larrywjett@xxxxxxxxx>]

I get the key issue.  My 413 in a 63 300 Sport easily floods when parked for 10 minutes when hot.  I have learned to crank it for 4 revs, turn off the key for a few seconds, and then restart and as soon as you feel a wish to fire, gently move the pedal.  Works every time when engine is hot.  Not correct, but it always works and is cheap enough.

Do you know how to bypass the ignition? I. E. Hotwire it with a push button?

Thank you,

My 59 Dodge Coronet - 326/Powerflite - runs great once started.  I had it running for an hour the other day, burning out some old/new gas frm the tank, and it never faltered or got hot. 

But, it refuses to start unless I mess around with the key.  If I can get it to catch at the end of an attempt, when I release the key, sometimes it will catch and start.  Is this an issue with something with the ignition or electrical?  Cranks fine, and adding starting fluid (seems much of this stuff is crap anymore) doesn't help a great deal, so I think it is getting adequate spark, air and gas?
