74 F250 Starting problem

Have a 1974 Ford F250 with the 460ci motor, auto trans, and 4x4. This is the model with the tool boxes built into bed and it runs good (when it starts) and is in excellent shape. However it takes mad spells. Some days you can try to crank it and it starts, then sometimes it wont. Every now and again, it dies on you going down road. I have checked the coil and replaced, along with other firing items. What else could it be.

All Help Is Appreciated

I'd be checking all the grounds. Check for spark and fuel when it won't start.

I would pull the codes off the OBDII as well as check all you connections as indicated above.

That computer might be telling you something

Edit: sorry about that...I was looking at your name (97 F250) when I wrote that....now I see you're talking about a 74
