[DeTomaso] Hot Start Issue

[Pantdino]

When I got my car it had an anti-theft switch that cuts out the signal to the coil.
When the car is hot I turn the switch off, turn the engine over, then turn the switch back on again.
 
Otherwise if the piston fires on the first upstroke the engine stops dead because the plug fires BTDC. 
Once the engine is spinning and has momentum it starts fine.
 
But the high torque starter is the right way to go about it.

     I lived with hot re-start issues for many, many years.  When I blew
     my clutch I took the car to Cory Gehling to have the clutch
     replaced.  He said the starter got trashed so he put in a high
     torque starter.  What difference.  The motor spins like crazy hot or
     cold.  My hot start issues where a thing of the past after putting
     in the new starter.  I wish I had done it years before.

   Fitting a starter like this in place of a stock starter requires longer
   mounting studs in the bellhousing due to the thicker flange.  They
   offer the starter with an optional, free wiring kit, which you should
   ask for as well.
