Things to check when it won't start:
Spark Fuel Air.
Pull a plug wire off a plug, and see if the spark is bright. Perhaps your
coil is affected by heat. I would try swapping it with a known good one.

Subject: [MV] M880 hard to start

> I have a rather odd infirmity with my 1977 Dodge M880 with the original
318 installed. It starts easy when cold, but restarting when warm is an
extreme challenge. If I shut it down after driving awhile, it sometimes
takes a shot of ether to get it started if it will even start. After that it
runs great, just doesn't like to start when hot or warm. Would a new carb
fix this? Perhaps a fuel pump?
