Default 1985 chevy s10 blazer 2.8L dosent fire

I have a 1985 s10 blazer that has the 2.8L v6 in it and when I was driving it it was cutting out and I pulled over and shut it off and now it won't start. It turns over but has no spark. What do I need to fix?

Did you ever figure out what the problem is?? Mine has issues restarting after it's been driven in warm weather. I just drove about 10 minutes down the road and I let it sit for about 5 minutes and it wouldnt restart for another half an hour after I popped the hood and let it cool...

Hard starting when warm can be a sign of a timing problem (timing too far advanced). Have you checked the timing and made sure that the mechanical & vacuum advance are working properly?
