Great starting became hard starting.

Before cranking, are you pressing the pedal to the floor to give a little shot of fuel and to let the choke close?
My question as well. Edelbrock carb? After they set a few days the fuel will evaporate out of the float bowls. If you were starting your car more often ehen the engine was new and now you only start it every few days or so that could be the issue. Normal operation. I can park mine and come back in a day or so and it takes right off. After 3 days or more I have to crank on it a bit to get it lit.
