Yeah I used to have this intermittent problem in my Cutlass. The pickup coil was the problem. Sucks because it requires removal of the distributor. Mine would start up and drive fine, then I would park it and go to start it again a short while later and no fire. Luckily it seemed to always do it in front of my house and not anywhere else. I found the break in the tiny wires going to the pickup coil.
