I Start it and drive it a small distance( 3 or 4 city blocks ) then it just cuts out, and i get nothing, it wont even turn over for about 2 or 3 hours later. Why does it do this?

Car Specs:
1977 Datsun 280z
Straight 6
Fuel Injected
Just replaced the Alternator
Brand New Battery
been sitting for 6 to 8 months, unitl recently when i replaced the above mentioned parts.

I think it might be the radiator not working, it seemd to have something growing out of it, but that could be nothing. Would a bad radiator cause something like this?
Ok, i now think it isnt the radiator, because i messed with some fuse's and then it would turn on, work for a few then cut out again. Then i mess with some fuse and it turns on again. What the heck is wrong with my car?

Definitely get your radiator checked if something was growing out of it...you need water to cool your engine...try taking it for a tune up as well...or have a mechanic check it out...they usually will do so for a small fee
Good luck!
