Starting wierdness
I'm having some starting wierdness I need some help with. The engine won't fire while I'm cranking it, but the second I release the key it fires. It doesn't do it all the time but it seems to act up when the engine is at operating temp. My truck is a 72 F-100 2wd with a 302. It has electronic igniton from a later, unknown year retrofitted to it. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks

Welcome to (FTE)!
It sounds like the coil is not getting full ( Voltage ) when the switch is in the start position!
Also you said you changed the ignition, if you by chance are running a bigger ( Coil ) or
a racing type (Coil) you may want to wire it where it gets and stays at full (Voltage) at start up
and while it is running.
