To resolve the starting problems when the engine was hot on a 351W, a MSD 8584 distributor, $189, and high performance starter, 820055, $159, were installed. Already had the MSD 6A ignition. Purchased from Summit. Since the distributor and starter were installed at the same time, not sure if the fix came from both changes or just one. The MSD distributor, via a variety of different combinations of bushings and springs , offered a number of alternatives in setting the timing and advance.
