starting problems

I have a 1986 Ford F-250 and when I first try to start the truck in the morning, the motor will turn over, but the engine will not start. If I pull the truck, it will start and then the rest of the day it will start just fine. Any ideas? Thanks.

What type of fuel injection? I have a feeling I might not be able to help since the 86 460 wasn't originally fuel injected. So it sounds like you have a custom job there.

One thing I would try though, is check for voltage on the coil with the key in run and start positions. It sounds like you may not have any voltage at the coil in the start position.
