My 1987 350 tbi has been giving me fits for the last month or so. Anytime my truck engine is cool it fires right up. The problem comes when I drive home. I drive home 22 miles and when I get home if I want to do anything else I have to wait for the truck to cool off. If I try to start it, it acts like the battery is drained, engine drags or just turns reall slowly and never fires. If I let it cool it fires right up. Battery is less than 3 months old and shows good. Father in law says it's the coil, but before I go to throwing parts at it, I thought I'd ask you guys. Thanks for any help.

It is not the coil. I bet it is the starter. How old is the starter. Get a good rebuilt one. Not a cheap one. Lets us know what you find out.
