Default 98 1500 won’t start

So, I bought this truck about 5 months ago. It ran great for about two weeks and then I got covid and it sat for a week. When I went to start it, it would crank, but wouldn’t start. I tried the fuel filter and battery and eventually had it towed back to where I bought it. They ended up replacing the ignition and it was running find after that. Fast forward to a few months later. I go to start it and it’s doing the same thing. This time I take the distributor apart to see if it looks bad and it looks brand new, so I put it back together and on a whim decide to see if it will start and it starts right up. No problem. So, I assume something was loose and I tightened it back up. Now a week ago, I went to start it and it’s doing it again! Try the distributor and nothing. Now it won’t even crank. But the battery has power. Any ideas? Ignition coil, maybe?

Welcome from Florida. Probably a loose connection somewhere. More than likely a loose or bad ground connection.
