With the new coil, the engine starts after only 1 or 2 cranks, but the cranks are hard to come by. Is it possible to have a full battery but a very slow crank? Could the new coil be the cause? I'm going to check the battery tomorrow.

No ignition is seperate from the starter circuit, are you using a ballast resistor on one side of the coil? They originally were used to reduce high current to the points during engine cranking. If you have electronic you should remove the ballast if you have one. The only way you'll have a slow crank with a full battery is if your starter is drawing too much current. Almost sounds like your battery might be on the way out, how old is it? The coil would not be the cause of slow cranking either. Are you certain all your lugs are clean and tight and you have a good ground connection to the block? Good Luck and keep us posted!
