I guess I misunderstood, are you saying the engine will not turn over (crank) with the key?

The engine will turn over when cranked. There is no spark.

Hello,

Been forever and a day but after a wedding, sickness, work, more sickness and lead time for parts, I finally have an update! First of all I would like to thank all of you who helped and a special thank you to DennyW for helping offline on his free time. The verdict: the module in the distributor bit the dust. Furthermore it was determined that the module was an earlier version prone to failure due to voltage spikes. I also realized that the module was not originally installed with a "surge protector" and ended up installing one of those inline as well. The result: the truck runs as good as new now. Just in time for classic car season! Thank you all once again.
