My truck will start and run fine for bout 2 min then just turn off sometimes it will start back up other times it will just turn over.if i let it sit over night it will start right up and do the same thing.It has a Mallory unilite distributor put in a new coil new edelbrock carb.This is driving me crazy please help

 

All this started a week after it overheated

 

If you check for spark at the time it will not start it should provide a path to continue checking further.

 

At the time there isn't spark

 

What?

 

Im looking for advice on what's wrong.Something in the distributor?

 

Don't know if this is the problem, but there should be a pick-up coil in the distributor that sends a signal to the module that the engine is turning over. You might check the wires coming out of the dist to verify the pick-up coil has continuity.

 

Even on a Mallory unilite distributor.Electrical stuff is kinda where im alil retarded

 

Put in new plugs and wires tonight started ran smooth then after bout a min died and just. Cranked gonna try the pickup coil in the distributor in the morning got to dark tonight

 

Fixed it needed a new Mallory led module. Thanks for the help
