302 Starting Problem

I have a 1994 F150 2wd with a 5.0 302 and 101,000 miles. Just put cap,rotor,plugs,wires,fuel filter,and ran 93oct gas and seafoam through it.The truck will start easy 1st thing in the morning(sitting for a few hours) and anywhere from being just shut off up to 4 or 5 min after. But if it sits for 10 min or more the truck will turn over but takes a while to start(turning the key 3 times at about 4 seconds per turn). Truck runs perfect when started.The starter works perfect as well.I don't have any more ideas?

Check fuel pressure at the rail, should be 40psi at first crank and if it's not building or maintaining that pressure it will be hard to start. If it is building pressure then the problem could be ignition, pull the codes before changing any parts.

The truck is throwing no codes and does not have the check engine light on. I will check the fuel pressure but would that cause it to start fine when just shut off and 1st thing in the morning? I figured that pressure problems would make the truck run bad or want to bog will running?
