The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Anybody use engine crank handle?

Denny, my 46 has always been hard to start when hot, hence my comment about a 1 hour drive at 45 mph. Over the years I've investigated and rebuilt everything I could think of with little success. The issue is do you keep cranking until the battery is gone, or just wait till she cools off a bit. I've received a lot of advice and the common answer is change to 12V. My friend cannot start his 55 Crown Vic when its hot, so he upgraded to 12V to solve the problem. He was twisting wrenches at a Ford dealership when 55's were still everyday cars on the road and they had no solution. Ford went to 12V in 56.
