The car starts and you can drive all day long,but sometimes when you go to shut it off and try and crank it again it wants to just turn over and over and does not want to start. Any idea what may cause this?

Its not the starter......... if it keeps turning over and over....could be too much timing....
But I bet your running rich and getting the plugs wet....drive the car around till it gets to operating temp ...go home and pulls some plugs.... See if they are wet

Pretty sure Its not the starter as well because I've had the long tube headers on since I had the car and had know problems. Does anyone think that it may be an injector problem?

Any ideas of how to fix the idle...

When you shut the car off and pull the vacuum line off the regulator is the line moist with fuel? __________________ Racing in memory of Dave Bandt 11/19/69 - 3/23/08 "he's traded his wheels for wings" Professor of Natural Aspiration Thanks to: Artie at Trick Flow, Dave at Team Z Motorsports, Brian at Total Engine Airflow and Harold at Furo Racecraft
