My 1976 dodge D100 pickup, 318ci, will suddenly stop running. If I restart it, it runs a couple seconds then stalls again. Could it be a defective coil or is it something else?

Sometimes. Sometimes it won't stay running long enough to drive.

When it wont start, check for spark/fuel pressure.

Could the fuel pump work intermittently or if it was faulty would it work at all?

Brushes eventually wear out on pumps so intermittent operation is possible.

76 does it have an electric pump? Even mechanical pumps can operate intermittently do to valve warpage/wear.
