Car Won't Start are long drives

Been having troubles getting my '85 Camaro to start after long (hour plus drives). It doesn't happen everytime, but once in a while I'll turn the key and the car won't even turn over. Give the car a jump, and it's all back to normal. For shorter drives, it starts everytime.

I've done a few things to fix this, however it still occurs every once in a while. Curious if anyone has any thoughts. Here is what I have done:
  • Replaced battery
  • Replaced alternator
  • Installed remote starter solenoid

The volt gauge shows I'm running at or close to a full charge when I'm driving down the road. Also, auxiliaries such as radio or fans still work when the car won't start.

I have a carbureted 350 with the computer/emissions stuff taken out. It started everytime for a long time after taking out the computer so I don't think that is a part of the problem.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nick
