F150 4x4

Have a 1981 F150 4x4 with a 302. After running it for a while and then shutting off the engine it will not start again for about 2 to 4 hours.I have replaced the duraspark II ignition module because the base was cracked but it still has the same problem. During this time there is no spark. I have tried to trace the problem but seem to be missing something in my search.
Can anyone help with info? Thanks.

Soapydog, Check the coil. It is possible that it may have a crack in it. I have also seen on a truck where the coil became oil soaked from a line that was weeping over top of it. The coil retained too much heat and stopped working. I would pull the coil off and examine it outside of the engine. If you have any douts, I would replace it. Good luck

You can try replacing the pick-up coil inside the distributor. I had the same problem, turned out the pick up coil was faulty.
