76 Bronco starting problem 302 auto
Have replaced the following, module, pick-up, coil, and ignition switch. After replacing pick-up it started and ran for 30 minutes, then it won't start back. Have tried another coil, pick-up, and module. how can i check system out ? Thanks Ronnie

The fact that it ran for 30 minutes is good. Make sure spark is still getting to plugs by pulling one, replace wire on plug and hold tip on clean engine block looking for a healthy spark when cranking.
Look down throat of carb, pull throttle and watch for fuel squirting verifying it's getting to engine. Got to narrow things down a bit..

Put a test light on the positive side of the battery and touch the negative on the coil and crank, you should have a flash everytime the pickup opens and closes, make sure you wire the coil correctly, yes it does matter, if you reversed the polarity of the coil go get a new one, It should be labeled, + and a -, disconnect anything you may have going to the coil, an after market tack, rev limiter, ect. Then there's always the dreaded wiring, but it is possible that you lost your prime, while repairing the ignition, just pump the gas and make sure fuel squirts from the accelerator pump. Good Luck

Found problem
When i replaced the ignition pick-up coil i had to cut wires and put back together, one of the wires was not making a good connection. Mad with myself but least i'm riding. Thanks for the replies.
