An '86 with a 302 and a carburetor should be a Motorcraft 2bbl with a TFI computer controlled ignition and carb, if memory serves as it should.
Long cranking times and it firing up after you let the switch go makes me think that your timing is off. It could also be your choke isn't functioning correctly or problems with other components on the motor, etc.
Best thing to do is pull codes from the computer and see what it says is going on.
