Strange problem, truck runs for about 5 to 10 minutes and then stop. It will spin but doesn't have spark. I checked with a timing light and tried to ground a plug to the manifold. Changed "brain" module on distributor, checked the rotor, cap and coil wire. Checked all the connections. Checked the belts (tightened) and alternator connections. it also seems to kill the battery.....or maybe it was old.......put another one in it, still don't start. We just put this thing on the road after sitting for a year and put a clutch in it(it ran then)........... I've been working on Fords for a while but can't figure this out. These things had a problem with shorts in the steering column but turning the key engages the selonoid and turns over. Any help is appreciated............BTW it's a 2.9 V6.
