x2 what Kent said, and make sure none of your ground connections are attached to painted metal without an aggressively toothed washer - go over them all and retighten .... then fiddle with the timing, you don't even need a timing light, just loosen the distributor and turn it very slightly either way and retry starting, if that doesn't make it crank faster, turn slightly the other direction and try again - timing can definitely affect cranking speed more hot than cold
