well i got a new coil and installed it and it started right up but then it died. scared me but it was just running on the gas in the TB and there must have not been any in the lines from all the cranking i did yesterday. so i squirted some gas in the TB and it started and must have built fuel pressure and it ran fine test drove it and it ran like a top. tomorrow ill go out there and it wont start i know it

well tried it and it wouldn't start i don't think its getting gas. Do you guys think it could be that i put a smaller size rubber gas line by the fuel filter could that be the problem.

Possibly it could be the smaller sized line or it is kinked.

So are you now getting spark at all times, I read you didn't earlier?

checked for spark and there is none so i tested the coil and it came out 2.5 primary and 7.4 secondary. so i went to get a new one and then tested the new one and it came out to the same put it in the truck and still no spark.
