Dead and not starting
I have a 1992 d150 318 swapped into a 1956 Dodge Regent. I drove it to work today and it worked fine. Once it was time to leave, I started it to let it warm up. It ran for a minute and died. When it started it revved up, lowered to idle, dropped below idle, lost cylinders, and stopped altogether. I had to get a ride home because it wouldn't even try to start again. Any ideas?

Shoot some starting fluid or brake cleaner (that doesn't say non-flammable) into the intake. If it starts for a bit then dies, you have a fuel supply problem. I'm thinking your fuel pump or pump relay might have gone south. If it won't start at all, you have an electrical issue.
