Hi, looking for some advice on a problem I have on my 70 challenger.

Went cruising a day ago, needed to move the car outta the garage to do some painting, started up fine....let it warm up for a couple mins. Then it dies....no problem, fires back up...runs then dies again 2mins later. This happened 3 times. Now it wont start at all...heres what I have done so far during trouble shooting.

Test ballast. 1.0 ohms
12v at + terminal of coil ( key on and during crank)
Test distributor pigtail 333 ohms
Tried a new orange box ecu..no change
inspected bulkhead connections.
Pulled a plug and looked for a spark during cranking-no spark.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks for any help moparts!!
