Try retarding the timing a few degrees with octane selector.  Feel all 
connections for heat when cranking.  Clean or replace any that get hot.  Also 
make sure the ground is good especially if you just painted frame.  Engine 
will loosen up after it is run.  I've seen a starter use so much current that 
there is not enough voltage left for a good spark.  Truck fires up as soon as 
i release starter.
