Check the pick up coil inside the distributor. I fixed a friends Camaro that was having the same problem. What was happening is the pick up coil would get hot and quit working (either shorting out or opening a winding) and once it would cool down, it would work for about 20 minutes. Then it would start all over again. We took the ignition module to the local parts store and had it checked. It was fine. Just something to look at. L8R
