1965 Fastback with Ford Racing 306. When I start up for the first time of the day, it fires right up. The more often I start it as the day goes on, such as if I'm out running errands (parking as far away as possible from any other car), it takes longer and longer to light off. Typically, the warmer the day, the worse.

Does anyone know what could cause this. Most of the engine is within 3 years of new, as is the battery.

Heat soak on the starter. You could also measure the amps the starter is taking to crank. Make sure you have good engine grounds.
