Yeah, check the battery cables for corrosion. The cables could also be corroded inside where you might not see it and that can cause a slow start condition.
New cables are under $20 for the pair and if it's not the problem, it's cheap insurance.

check your ignition timing to. if it is to far advanced it will turn over slow.you said you changed your plugs and wires,check the firing order you could have crossed wires,or your distrubitor could be lose and when you changed your wires it could have moved the distrubitor.i have had all of these things happen to me one time or another.it's mainly process of elemination. good luck
