Take off the air cleaner and see.
But a dirty fuel filter or weak fuel pump could be slow to getting gas to the engine. Take off line and check pressure.
Hard starting in the morning is a symptom of an arcing distributor cap.
Take it off and see.
Check that spark is good, plugs clean and proper gap, etc.
Check timing.
Check for vacuum leak.
First off, you have a loose battery connection somewhere. Start there.
check your ground on the alternator bracket.
A deep cycle battery is not appropriate for a primary car battery .
Deep cycle batteries are intended to run 12 volt appliances in RVs and boats .
Put the right kind of battery in .
I replaced a head gasket in my 1984 305 Chevy and replaced my battery with a deep cycle battery. And my truck ran perfect for two weeks and now suddenly I'm having trouble starting, in the morning it started just fine but now it won't start right. When i turn the ignition i can hear it cranking and the dash lights flicker, but even though it's cranking it won't start even if i pump the gas a lil bit, in order for me to stay it i have to hold my gas peddle to the floor and turn the ignition at the same time it will crank 2-3 times and then start right up. It appears as if the battery is staying charged correctly, but my fuel filter is getting clogged, so i don't know if the fuel filter is causing this problem, or the battery or my starter going out, please and thank you
