start up problems

when i attempt to start my 1990 351ci it cranks and cranks and cranks but doesnt start and sounds like it wont start at all but then it will suddenly start up....during cold weather it starts up a lot easier almost with no problem at all but during warm weather it takes a couple cranks....but never fail it eventuall starts...i have replaced the plugs with bosch 2 and am in a few minutes after my engine cools...about to replace my cap and rotor....since it seems to be temprature sensitive that leads me to thinking it is ignition rather than fuel pump or injectores.......what do yall think ? any input will be appericiated

Same thing on my '92. I'm going to replace the cap and rotor too, I bet that'll fix it.
