460 hard start when hot

new to this forum, this is my first thread.

I know this is a common problem with 460s, and have check a lot of the forums threads about this. this is what I've done so far. brand new starter Lifetime warranty put in today new 2g ground new 4g wire from solenoid to starter, new 4g from battery to solenoid, also put in today 1hr ago, battery seems fine full charge, charged it over night 2amp slow charge. drove it around for 20minutes, came home tried to restart her and next to nothing like battery is dead. very hard to start until she cools down a bunch. 1/2 hour or better. getting over 12 volts sitting 13+ running. charging fine. have a heat shield on new starter. after running first thing I did was touch the starter not hot at all barley warm. its 30 degrees out right now. no heat to any wires. thing starts and runs great when cold. just wont start if I shut her down to get fuel or groceries. please help

back off on the timing.


10-12* initial is a good place to start for a stock engine.
