Glad to see you're already getting her going again after that fire!

Did anything with the starter go up in smoke or did u check all of that already?

Re: 82 Camaro hesitating to start

That is weird lol, I wish I could help more but if it's just barely bumping the engine then starting up I can only think of starter or something else electrical, I guess u can only do more troubleshooting :c
