'87 Camaro Starts Intermittently

Hey guys, I just got my camaro a couple of weeks ago, and it ran fine for 2 weeks, then one day it wouldn't start. It would crank for ever but not start. The fuel pump worked fine, there was power to the plugs, but nothing. The next day it started right up again and ran well for a week, now it starts about every second day.

I had a crack in my heater core which I thought might have leaked anti-freeze and shorted something. I replaced that yesterday, and the car fired right up, I drove it for about 20 minutes and now it doesn't start again.

Any ideas what may be causing this? Or any ideas on why it does start randomly? checked all grounds and connections, and now I'm just confused.

In an interesting developement... It started right up when I went out there. I haven't done anything to it since 9 this morning when it wouldn't start. I'd think it was a loose connection somewhere if I hadn't checked them all already...
