1985 cold start
Hello, I have a 1985 corvette with 49,000 original miles.And my last full tune up was ayear ago. But the last week or so it's been harder to start when its sets for 6 or more hours. But when its warm it starts right up. When I say hard to start it will crank 3-6 seconds, sometimes as much as 8 seconds. But every now and then when it's cold its starts right up. Any ideas. THANKS.

Might be a problem with the cold start injector.
Check the cold start injector, the wiring and the cold start temperature switch on the front of the intake manifold. It has a connector that looks like a fuel injector connector.
