I have a 400 here in Northern Iowa. Since I have the high dome pistons in it. It needs a little help starting when it is cold outside( like it has been for the last week!!!!). First, I put an engine tank heater on it, and that helped a lot. The second thing was it has a 12 volt system on it a with a 6 volt resister for the points. What I did was hooked a relay up from the starter switch to put 12 volt to the points when you are cranking the engine. When it starts and you release the starter switch it goes back to 6 volts for the points. When you do this, you have to get the power from around the resister for the points and use the power from the starter to pull in the relay. If you try to get the power for the points from the starter, you will get feed back from the points back to the starter. I set this up after I overhaul it and it works Great!!
