Bernie,
Today I had the DIC out laying on top of the valve cover and while I was about to reconnect the DIC I noticed one of the female spade connectors in the plastic plug was back from the face slightly, not flush like the others. I tried pushing it with a pencil lead and just as I suspected it slid easily out toward the back. I removed it bend the two metal ears open wider slid it back into the plastic plug till I heard it "snap", and anchored itself in place.
I connected the plug to the DIC , cranked over and spark! Then pulled the plugs out of this DIC , inserted it (DIC) onto the plugs in the engine, installed one screw to hold it down and it started!
It explains the intermittent, no start and dying as it appears the male spade connector hanging out of the DIC was simply making a butt joint connection with the female connector of the plastic plug, so just the spring tension in the wire bundle coming into this connector was keeping continuity.
Many thanks Bernie for your suggestions and insights, I learned a lot.
