http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=29995.0to me ive personally had the ignition coil get warm then stop working. ive had the pickup coil go bad and never start back up. the link i posted above you can test the ignition coil at home but the icm needs to be taken to a parts store that can test it. but remember those things might only fail once they warm up. if the icm test good and the ignition coil seams to test good that leaves you with the pickup coil which you have to remove the whole distributor to replace and theres no testing for it. a duralast coil can cost you 25 and an AC can cost you 59. by that time it may or may not be your issue and the next best option is to order a whole distributor. but get your parts tested and when the test the icm get them to test it a few times to let it warm up
