Default Marathon Dies

After my 93 295 marathon warms up, it will just die like its being starved of fuel or ignition. Wait a bit, off you go. New fuel pump, lines, igniter, coil, voltage regulator, tried running an inline electric pump to see if that would remedy... Only thing I haven't changed is the pulser coil. It's driving me bonkers!

Have you checked the ground connection to the engine block?

Have you checked for spark right after it dies?

When it does it, is it turning over and failing to start? Take a spare plug and when it fails, pop it into a plug wire, ground it and see if you have spark.

Yes, when it happens it still turns right over. I'll take it out in a bit and check voltage and spark and report back

Got it to act up this morning. Disconnected green wire from gen to voltage regulator and problem goes away.
