Hey guys we have been restoring a 71 Roadrunner with matching numbers 383. The motor was rebuilt (not by me, person I bought it from did). The car had already been painted under the hood when we got it so the first thing we did was get the car running. Which we did and we got it running really good. Well this was probably 4 months ago. Nothing under the hood has been touched since it was running. Now the car is all but finished (just need to finish installing some trim). And it will not start. It will start just for a minute it sounds like its running maybe on 2 or 3 cylinders then just dies after a few seconds (cant keep it running). Its getting plenty of fuel. The coil is good, it puts off a good strong blue spark. However when i remove a spark plug wire and try the old screw driver trick to see if its getting spark.. its a very week spark and very inconsistent. You can turn it over and over for 10 or 15 seconds and it might spark 3 or 4 times or it may not make a spark at all in that time. So I'm almost positive the issue is in the ignition.. I've checked all connections. I think my points seem to be ok (it has dual points) but I'm not 100%. I replaced them back when we got it running...
Really need help on this as its puzzling the crap out of me and I dont know where to go.
