New to the group because I have no where else to turn
Hello! I’m new to the site and need your help. I recently purchased a 1990 F250 5.8 351 Windsor that was a farm truck. I got it for $300 and it ran and drive and just needed some love to make it the awesome truck I have always wanted. I have replaced almost everything and I am still running into a warm hard start issue.
here is a list of everything I have replaced:
-Alternator
-Starter
-Ignition coil
-Battery
-Smog pump
-Battery terminals
-Thermostat
-Temp sensor
-Air intake sensor
-Checked and cleaned ground going to battery
-Fuel regulator
-checked injectors and none leaked
i pulled off the distributor cap and cleaned the contacts and it still having a hard warm start. I don’t know where to turn and know there has to be someone smarter than me or has ran into this issue themselves.

Welcome to FTE ! If you click the link I am about to post for you, I believe there are "experts" and novices there that may be able to help you. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum28/
And off the top of MY head, I would suggest that you remove the cables going to the block and clean the heck out of where they touch the block to insure that the starter is getting full voltage to the starter.. I see you have said you did this, but still check to insure there is NO rust under the connection.
