I dont know why your car would have a problem with 24lb injectors but you're having the same problem that cars with 30+lb injectors have. The motor floods with too much fuel. Too much fuel at start up can cause the car not to start when hot. My car is having the same problem with the 30lb injectors sometimes and I have to floor the gas to get it to start(clears the signal going to the injectors). I think the only way to solve this problem is by tuning via a custom burnt chip or a program like the Anderson Ford PMS...I went with the PMS.

Its seems like you're car has the same problem as mine because everything else checks out. Check the distributor for being a tooth off first and if that doesnt work I would say its tuning related.

if a motor is in time, or has the ability to be in time, it cant be a 'tooth off'. this is a misnomer. the only reason one would need to restab the dizzy is if there is interferance (TFI hitting something). said another way, if one had a large open space around the dizzy, one could drop the dizzy back in randomly. then just rotate it (it might take 350* of rotation) till it fires. but one cannot be one tooth off.
