    79 rabbit trouble starting?

    I recently bought a 79 rabbit, gas, and when you crank it over if you don't get it to start on the first time it will just keep cranking and won't start. It's very frustrating. Once it's running it runs great, like a dream, but getting it started is a struggle. So far I've put a can of seafoam in it to clean up the injectors and I've changed the spark plugs. Any ideas would be appreciated as I would like to be able to drive it to work everyday, but I want to make sure it will start if I do. Thanks!

    What do Divorces, Great Coffee and Cars all have in common?
    They all Start with good GROUNDS.
    Replace all of them that you can, 99 percent of flakiness will disappear.
