So, I did some investigating..and found that the wires going to my ignition coil, were just barely connected. They were extremely loose. So, I pinched them tight, re-attached, and HUGE difference. Starts with no issues now. Just something else for you to check if this happens to you. Thanks all for the help!

Thanks for the input everyone! I am gonna tinker with it this weekend, in the mean time I will try Pak's way of starting. Maybe it will help. Certainly not going anywhere long distance while it's acting up!

I turn the key to on, quick push of the pedal to the floor....turn key to start. Should I push it more than once??

No, it cranks at normal speed...but just takes a few seconds of cranking before it would fire. Doing a little reading, and going to check the distributor first..but wanted to see if anyone had experienced this, and might point me in the right direction. THANKS for the reply!

So, I have a bit of a gremlin..and not sure where to start. My car was always a 'long' starter. Meaning, I would turn the key...and it would spin a bit before firing. But it would ALWAYS fire up. Today, it almost didnt fire. Held the key a LONG time...much longer than normal. Eventually fired up, and ran normally. Is it my starter? Distributor? Something else? Please help. I dont want to drive it, if it's going to strand me somewhere.

So, driving down the road...starts to rain...so, I turn on my wipers. Then run fine for 5 min., then stop midway on window. Jerk a little, and eventually go all the way down. Turn off switch from 20 seconds, turn back on, and they never stop again!!! It has done this several times, and every time, after I shut them off for 20 seconds, there is no problem. Thoughts??? Was very scary the first time, since I had just bought the car!!!!!
