Default 1990 GT Starting issue

When the car has sat it starts right up but if you have to shut it off it wont start back up for anything. If you wait 20-30 minutes or so it finally will start again. It doesn't matter if it ran for 10 seconds or 10 minutes it still does this. It runs fine when it is running. The only mods it has are exhaust, headers, 3.73 gears, BBK cai, and an MSD distributor that I know of. It didn't have this problem when I bought it. I've only had it for about 3 months or so.

Please help

Does it crank really slow when you try to re-start it after being run and warmed up?

The first time it did it it acted sluggish but fired right up with a jump. My brother dropped his battery in it and it did fine when we went out in it. When my brother tried to move it to work on it for me it didn't have a battery in it so he put his truck battery back in it. It may have been a little sluggish turning over but he said it seemed like it was turning over. When he put the battery back in his truck it started right up
