I've got a 1960 Lark V8. Bought it about 6 months ago. Was a barn find that PO got running and gave it parts it needed (shocks, brakes, carb etc)
I put a new battery in it and had the starter rebuilt. The thing starts right up and runs great. The problem is after I drive and park it or stop it (like to get gas, or get some lunch) When I turn the ignition, the engine barely turns over. If I keep on the ignition, she'll eventually start...most of the time. Now here is the weird part. If I let it sit over night, or even longer...for days and go to start her, she fires right up with a full push from the starter/battery. I hate having to carry a jump starter and worry about having to leave her some where.
Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
