Maybe this will help someone with start/no run problem.

My truck would start great, but as soon as I let off the start mode on the key switch it would die.

I checked to see if the resistor wire to the distributor was still in place. It had been replaced with a 12 GA wire from the bulkhead in the firewall.

I turned on the ignition and had no power to the 12V distributor wire.

With the switch on, I had power going into the switch but none to the red distributor wire.

I installed a new switch and solved the problem.
