Stock distributor,electronic,it is random and a real pain in the ***1. What distributor/ignition??
Reason being:
It seems random...and then "bang" it fires
My Initial suspicion is the distributor/electronics unit as it is not triggering the "pulse" and then wham it fires...
Need more info please
Thanks for the help guys,will let everyone know if Any success!Starting issues,cold or hot sometimes car won’t turn over,no click no nothing than after several tries turns over and starts fine.can happen anytime I need to solve this all help welcome.thanks Pepper
I changed ignition switch a year ago from year one,I guess that doesn’t mean much though,thanks for your inputFriend of mine had that same symptom for years and had to jump the relay if he got nothing from the key. Replaced the starter switch and kept the same tumbler. Starts everytime now with the key.
I have a 4spd.thanks for the inputWhen it won't turn over leave key in on position and then try jumping the starter relay across the terminals with a screwdriver or wrench. If it turns over from that, the starter relay may be taking a crap. Also I am a 4 speed guy, but I am thinking maybe the neutral safety, although I think that would turn over but just not start.
Thx,will tryCheck your firewall bulkhead connectors. I bet the gremlins are there. Pull them off, clean and reattach with dielectric grease on the connectors so air will not corrode the connectors. Repair/clean any that look bad
As it turns out,The relay was only working intermittently,and my one year old ignition switch also only works intermittently,so I have two issues.cant buy the starter switch in Canada so I will order One from year one in the US.the last one I bought was good for about 80 starts before it went.aftermarket junk!!!!! I do appreciate all the help from my Mopar bud’s.... thanks to all, PepperI still say it is a "Spark" issue
Weak, non existent and then it fires....
These Electronic units can fail easily in some brands...
But, we have given you some areas to check.

My 69 Bee had a bad connection at the bulkhead. I could wiggle the wires and it would start. I drilled the connector out and put a 10 gauge wire in with no connectors.
