If you have compression, timing correct, spark, and fuel, it has to run. Something is wrong with one of them. Will it start with starting fluid?

First n probablt cheapest check the ballast resisitor then the coil and last the module in the distributor as maybe one or the other has failed. Also check to be sure a ll conatcts are c lean especially around the battery dodge had a problem with battery acid getting into termials. I am have similar problem as mine starts and shuts down a sif it has a vallet switch or someone said auto shut down relay altho no luck with mine either good luck
