My spark plug thing wasn't to check spark, might be a grounding thing, I don't know. I had a 79 TA that would do the same thing heckinohio's car did. I had to shut it off at the drive thru to order food, most of the time it would restart, sometimes it wouldn't. It might not start after sitting 4 hours, might start right up, hot, cold, didn't matter, there was no pattern to it. I removed a plug once to check for spark and it started right up, put the plug back in and away I went. I kept a spare plug with me after that and it would always start when I grounded the plug and turned it over... A roommate I had back in the same time period bought a newer mustang. We went to the convenience store and came back out and it wouldn't start... Weird since it was only a couple years old, if that. I tried the spark plug thing and it started right up. That was the only time he had that problem as long as I knew him though.
