Here's a link http://www.dakota-truck.net/CODES/codes.html
There is also a link in the FAQ section that tells you what each code means.
Sounds like it is probably the camshaft sensor. That is a plate like a circuit board under the rotor. The three wire lead that comes out of the base of the dist is what connects it to the wiring system.

The distributor is controlled by the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor; the cam position sensor tells it which half, and the crank tells it which cylinder in that half.

None at all? What brand crank position sensor did you use? There's been fits with the non-Mopar ones.

Code 11 can be crank or cam; but two of the three choices are crank, and the first one lists suggests both, so I'd triple check the crank first.

I would then triple check the wiring to it. Do you have a service scope so you can see the signal while cranking?

I ... got that the first time.

I'll ask again, have you double checked the wiring to it? Do you have a service scope to see what the signal looks like?

Do you have an analog meter, with the needle, or just a digital meter?

Digitals will "smooth" out the signal; I'm interested in if you're getting any signal at all.

Also, have you checked the ASD relay? Should be able to swap with the A/C relay or the fuel pump relay to see if you're getting fire (although if the relay's bad and you swap with the fuel pump relay, it won't run either ... )

FINALLY - you say "no fire to distributor". Does the coil spark? The FSM has instructions on how to test the coil; I'd be checking that also again.
