Hi....I have a 1983 Ford crown vickey wagon with a 351 windsor motor....It starts fine after the first start in the morning... but the first morning start, is extremly difficult and almost drains the new battery... What do you think the problem is? (heat shield, or auto choke maybe?)...

Every time I run into a starter problem the first thing I check is where the wire meets the battery terminal for corrosion and of course the grounds.

It could be a fuel pump problem. If it isn't working correctly the engine is having to siphon fuel from the tank to the carburetor in the morning, which takes forever. The longer it sets, the fuel will eventually go back to the tank.
