Default Power Problem

Wats up guys. I have a problem guys. First off i have a 331 Stroker with stock distributor, msd igniton box 5A, and a Holley 750 HP carb. About 3 months ago when i got my car together i was riding down the street and the car just quit without warning. Attempted to start the car and it wouldnt start. Pulled one of the plugs off of the dizzy and found that i wasnt getting any fire to the plugs. Took off the top of the dizzy and looked, put it back on and 1 minute later the cranked right up. My partner and i were puzzled. We did nuthn and the car jus cranked. Ok so i left alone. About 3 weeks ago the same thing happend and i chekd the plugs for fire as usual and there was no fire. Left it alone for a couple of minutes then went to start it and it cranked right up again. Last week the same thing happened. Car goes dead and i wait for 5 minutes and it just cranks up without a problem. What could this be and how do i go about troubleshooting the problem down to fixing it.


Thanks in advance
