GM Ignition module, still no spark
 
I was driving along today and as I started up a hill, my truck started dieing(not all at once), and eventually stalled. When trying to restart it, it would not even try. I checked an I had fuel (fuel filter is full), so I read on the forum about the GM ignition module swap, and I did that, still no spark. I have power all the places there should be power, and I have checked and re-checked my wiring. Any ideas?

Sounds like to me your distributor is bad.

Is there a way to test it, other than seeing that it turns? Which it does.

I checked, no corrosion in the cap.

Make sure you have a good coil. Maybe put your wiring up here and have everyone make sure it's wired correctly. Just draw a picture of how you did it and scan it or something.

It might be a bad or contaminated pickup in the dist

I found a good coil combo in the junk the PO gave me. I took out the GM stuff and put it in and I am good... for now.
