Need a little help here guys. 1970 GMC 6500 dump truck with 351 V6 gasoline engine, last used 6 months ago would not start two days ago. Battery weakened so got a friend to pull start it with my IH 756 TRACTOR. Rolled it 15 feet , popped the clutch and it fired right up. It ran great for about two minutes then died as I shifted into gear and let clutch out to move truck where I needed it. Would not start with battery so pulled it again nearly 1/2 mile on our farm lane. Never offered to fire again. Gas was pumping through carb. Tank 1/3 full. I put new condenser, contact points and rotor button in distributor today. Battery had been charged and was strong. Still not started even with some starting fluid (ether) sprayed into carb. Coil possibly went bad that quick? Distributor cap? Puzzling because it ran good and then just died. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
