Phil,

I am plagued with a starting problem with my 1980 as well.  My starter
turns the engine over but the engine will just not catch.  Does your
starter turn over or do you have to hit it to get it to do so?

Hi everyone.  I'm having the problem with the starter.
 Gotta knock it with a pipe after it is hot to get it
to work.  How do you fix this problem?  Get a new
starter?  But won't it just start again?  The starter
I have now I replace 3 years ago.  Any ideas?
