It just died
My 86 F150 I6 4x4 with 4 speed just died while going into 3rd gear, I pull over and the engine turns, but won't fire. Need some help.
Before anyone responds this is what I have done recently. All Brand New.
Battery, Battery Cables, Starter,Starter Cable, Starter Solenoid. Pick up coil, ICM, Distributor Cap, Plugs, Wires, Coil, Coil Harness, New 1bbl Carb, Fuel Pump, Fuel Line from the tank, Belts, Upper and Lower Radiator Hose, and rebuilt the brake system completely, and I mean completely! I did have a fuseable link problem, but it only effected the lights and other accessory stuff.
I had it towed to my mechanic, and he said he went out to start it and it fired like nothing was wrong. I should be thankful, but I take that news with cautious optimism. Any Ideas?

Not trying to be smart, but how are you battery cable connections? I have seen cables not tightened enough cause problems. Not saying that this is it, but its a quick check.
