I have a 82 280 zx turbo that will run for about 10 minutes then stall. I
will wait about 10 minutes after stalling and it will start agian stalling
after 10 minutes agian. It has no spark after it shuts down. What could
cause that, or what can i do to test some things

It's most likely the internals of the distributor. These are hard to find
and a early 300ZX uses the same internal parts so you can get a used 300ZX
dist and swap the guts. The other part that -might- be the problem is the
power transistor that controls the coil, it's mounted right at the ign coil
and again an early 300zx has this same part.
