okay so what happened was i left the radio on for 3-4 hours and went to start the truck and the battery was dead so i had someone give me a jump and it would just crank and crank so i checked for spark and no spark to coil or distributor so replaced the coil,distributor,ecu, resistor, ignition switch...im thinking it must be a wiring problem but is there anything else it could be? thanks

 

could also be a fuel problem. have you tried pouring a bit of gas down the carb?

 

ive checked if it had gas and it does but anyways that shouldnt make it not spark i dont think

 

did you charge the battery.

 

yeah it has a good battery and has voltage to the coil but nothing comes out of it is there a way to test the coil?

 

how exactly where you checking or spark? and are you sure you got your new distributor in the right way?

 

have you checked your fuses or listened for the fuel pump to see if it kicks on?

 

something this old should have a mechanical fuel pump on the engine block.

 

yeah im positive i got the distributor in right and i was checking for spark by putting a screwdriver on the coil wire and holding it close to a ground while cranking it and yes ive checked the fuses and there was one out for my taillights but i put a new one in...also i put new wires on

 

anyone have any ideas on this?
