Tom:
I had the very same problem with my 300 F and John Hertog is the one who  
told me the same trick as Bob Jasinki spoke of, that is to have the starter  
rebuilt with the heavy duty windings. This was back in 1999, I had  it 
rebuilt and not a bad start since, hot or cold.

Tom,

Ask the rebuilder to check their books for stator winding  listings. My 
rebuilder did, and that’s how I found out there were different  windings 
available. My rebuilder told me the heavy duty winding was used on  the Dodge 
Power Wagon through ’65, and that’s what he put in mine. No more  heat soak 
hard starts. Yes, you must have good cables, and its sounds like you  have it 
connected properly, so I’d talk to the rebuilder and ask him if he is  aware 
of different windings for the unit. If he is not aware of this, you  
probably have the light duty winding.

Hi Bob,

Starter was  completely rebuilt by a reputable shop but I'm not sure about 
the heavy duty  winding. I doubt they are aware of the needs of these old, 
large cars. I'll  find out. The battery has 850 cranking amps; supposed to be 
 enough.

Tony Rinaldi suggested the ground should be at the block. The  battery is 
connected where the block/intake meet.

Tom,

The starter needs to have the  heavy duty stator winding installed. Did you
have it rebuilt or buy it off  the shelf? There's a good chance you have the
light duty winding. I found  this out when I had mine rebuilt due to the
problem you indicated. Talk to  a good rebuilder and see what he says.

Having  trouble with starting newly rebuilt engine. On first crank, engine
starts  in one or two turns of the crank. Runs great. Once engine is warm,
and  engine is turned off, engine is very, very slow to turn over and  won't
start due to slow cranking. Battery is new and checks out fine.  Battery has
ground to intake manifold. Starter is rebuilt.

Timing  seems to be OK since car starts perfectly when engine is cold.
Changed out  coil and no difference. Car starts fine when cold but won't
hardly turn  over after engine is warm. 

Suggestions? The only thing we can come up  with is maybe the starter is 
bad.
It has been rebuilt twice, but maybe it  still is not right. Your thoughts?
Thank you.
