it could be of many different reasons. Fuel Pump diaphram leaking, Bad Plugs, Choke screwed up. there are many

Exactly how long does it take? My '88 Laredo takes about 4-5 secs to start when cold (considering cold in Southern California is 50deg). :)
If you search the forum, you'll find that a few seconds seems pretty normal for these old buckets.
