Intermittent electrical ignition problems

77.5 f250 4x4 351m 4x4 camper special

It seems it warms up and dies and cools down and runs.

when its not running i have no spark coming out of the coil, Well actually it has a zap of spark as i first crank the key and as i let the key off.

heres what iv tried, I put in a known good coil,ignition modual and coil wire.


where do i even start?
