Last week I went to the scrap yard and while I was there my MJ died, not thinking too much about it, jumped back in the truck and all she did was crank over. I’d had this issue before and wiggled the wires on the coil but nothing. I pushed the coil wire that runs to the distributor cap on, still nothing, I pushed it on the coil as far as I could and it started up! Got it home and notice the thin coat of electrical grease was making the wire slide down the tapered neck losing contact. I crimped the metal clip inside the coil wire but that didn’t work for very long so I cleaned the grease off the coil and coil wire measured to make sure the metal clip was on the metal part of the coil and put a small hose clamp to keep it in place. It runs and idles much better and hopefully will not have that issue again. Hope this helps someone else out!!
