check for bad connections at distributor and ignition model,,where wires plug into each other ,,,the sockets can crack inside and cause arcking of the wires,,,we use to have to cut the old wire connectors and reconnect wire to wire getting rid of the bad connectors,,,this drove us nuts on a fleet of vans,,,,did the same thing you say,,,,crank and crank,,,,and every time you where ready to let go of the key it would run for that second,,,hope this helps
