My truck ran for about 30 seconds and then just shut off, turns over fine but will not start, checked plugs and noticed I have no spark. (My truck is a c1500 v8 350) what is the most common problem to cause this.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
