so i replaced EVERYTHING 12000 miles ago. new engine(290 hp crate), distributor from chevy dealer.and everything under the hood is new. ir ran great and then at about 5000 miles it just cranked and cranked with no spark. I changed the coil with parts from napa. it started right up. at about 8000 miles same exact thing. jumped in to start it and it just cranked. bought coil from kragen and it started right up. now i am at 12000 miles. jumped in last night and same thing.just cranks so i assume its the same thing. WHY does this keep happening?
