Default 1988 Distributor Question

Replaced the distributor cap and rotor on my 1988 F 150 and for the first day it ran great. The second day, it started in the morning, but in the afternoon I had to pop the clutch to get it started. Found a connection that had worked it self loose and that seemed to fix the problem. Later that day it died on the highway. Sprayed contact cleaner into the dist. and got it running again. Didn't have any problems for the rest of the day.
Now it's back to not starting. I have checked the firing order, rotor button, put on the old parts...
Any ideas?

Seemed to do the trick. Now I can get back to work.
Thanks.
