I had a problem once with my 77. You could get in, fire it up and drive wherever. Then get in to start and it would not start, replaced everyting in the distributor, everything, including cap, rotor, coil, module, capacitor. Then got a new distributor, plugged it in, crank, fire. moved it and wouldn't run. Finally figured it out. The terminal in the power wire that clips up in the cap was worn. As the vibrations of engine shutting off broke the contact enough that it didn't allow enough power to get the coil to get it up to where it needed to be. Now after I crimped the terminal all is happy.
