Hard starting 351

hey guys...
i have a 1996 bronco w/ a 351. currently it has been having a problem starting after sitting for about 20 - 30 mins. if it sits over night, it isnt as hard to start. i just cant figure out what the problem is. i saw a post that said about the icm on the distributor, but i dont have that. i have an msd 6a box and blaster coil now. any help who be greatly appreciated...

Check your base timing. It sounds like your timing is off. Good luck, Dave
