I have a 351w in my T-bucket. It will start up beautifully right away when the engine is cold. it idles great .Then I take it for a drive, come back to the house turn off the motor and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. Then when I go to start it again....no go (battery does have full power at this point) It will turn over good but will not catch. The battery loses its power quickly and the spark isn't very strong or consitent.. After turning over a bit I can smell gas but, when I pull a plug it is not wet. The alternator is new and is charging the battery.
This is very frusterating and is really starting to piss me off!
Please help if you can, I have come to the very end of my knowledge.


P.S. When she is running, there is no problem staying running and no problem accelerating.
The motor is a '77, overhauld bored 6o over, heads decked, performer cam and manifold, Holley 600.
