Got it up on the highway for a few miles, ran good, this thing has pretty
good power for a 1500!  Nice low end too.  kinda hunkers down when it needs
to!  It doesn't like to start when fully warmed up though. just cranks slow,
strange really.. It does start but usually takes some pumping of the pedal.
The battery seems good, cranks fine when cold, charging system is working
OK,
I have welding cable going to the starter and for the ground strap, starter
relay at the starter but when its really warmed up even on a cool morning
it REALLY cranks slow, just about stalls the motor.

Any ideas?  This an issue with the 6V cars??  I probably need to put flat
top pistons in it when I rebuild it!
