        For you guys who can't drive, I have owned a frame rack for several years. Prices are based on your skill and ability to wreck it....

            Check the other electronics in the distributor. I.e. Cap, rotor, spark module.

              new plugs ,wires, cap, and button got it going also put a new Ignition modual but timing is off it was realy rough and would die I don't have a timing light but I ajusted the distibutor so it is runnung but kinda rought still
              so would that mean the timing chain jumped a tooth?

                You may have fowled a plug if one of the other items was bad. Try pulling the plugs out and checking them. If they are bad the truck would run terrible.

                    I had a bronco that liked to kill ignition modules. Is the truck carbed or FI.
                    Put a timing light on it and see where your timing is at, I am not sure but it should be around 9 degrees with a stock cam. If it is way off try and get it close to that if you cant most likly its a stretched chain, you could have jumped a tooth but I have never seen that.
