Won't start one day and fires up first crank next day

I haven't read the whole thread but I had the internal pickup module inside the distributor go bad some years back. It would start 20 times, then crank with no spark like the coil was unhooked. Then sit an hour, and be 100% fine. Never stalled once running. Just no spark no starts.

Was around $15 at autozone at the time. I see they went up. New distributor may be cheaper

I assume it's a SB...
