I re-read your earlier statements and you did not mention a few things that will have an effect on starting.
Only 3 things start a car or truck. Gas, Air and electricity. If all of these things are new and fresh, it should pop right off. Along with an electronic ignition, good plug wires, new fuel pump, rebuilt carb, correct timing, fuel filter, good vacuum, all of these will make starting a no brainer. I believe that timing has a lot to do with fast starting. A fresh Carb rebuild with correct float adjustment will make a world of difference. My buddy just put a new "Crate" motor in his pickup and his new motor and carb would not start easily and ran rough. I told him to take the carb apart at look inside. This was a brand new Holly 650 from Speedway that was bad from the factory. He replaced it with another and it ran perfect. Don't get frustrated, get busy and you'll figure it out.
