Possible Ignition Cutout

My '96 F-250 Crew Cab has been acting like the ignition is cutting out. After it sits a couple minutes, it usually starts. Is there a know issue pertaining to this?
It has 460.

Ignition Control Module and the PIP (aka stator) inside the distributor are common causes of this symptom. You need to verify if you have spark when the problem occurs before replacing parts.
