Intermittent crank no start
Here's the thing. It IS a gamble. After you have checked everything, you still might have a "weak" dist. pickup or poor connection in the pickup connector. You might have a poor connection in the ECU connector. Those are difficult to get to and difficult to evaluate.
Along with that, check the reluctor gap in the distributor., We've had discussions and some of us believe that the dist. pickup magnet can become weak. There is no way to test for that other than to try a different one. And there is a possibility that something in the ECU is actually causing this, and THAT is a gamble.
I built myself a box with a complete coil and HEI module that I use to fire engines and had intended to carry for a spare ignition.
I just connect the distributor, the green wire to ground, and the yellow to a hot battery connection (starter relay stud) and go
