[V8] Infamous V8 No Start

[Ron Wainwright]

Yah I remember getting one not much before I sold my
Pearl V8 & I paid $60. I had to get another one a few
months later & got quoted $170'ish!! But I found the
last one on e-bay for $50.
 The most recient one I got was from the local dealer
for $120.

 As listers have mentioned....the car runs rich at
startup...then you shut down....then you introduce
another rich startup.....gas in the chamber soaking
the plugs. 
 Mystery solved :-)?
