longer than normal , starting of the engine could be fuel delivery. fuel filter, old plugs. high resistance plug wires / weak spark , worn distributor cap/rotor.
I would guess a weak spark would cause a longer than normal cranking before start.
just to be sure have the battery LOAD tested .a weak battery will cause poor spark also.
