Nice truck. Your resistor is doing it's job - it's good. The rotor turns clockwise, so looking at your numbers the firing order is correct. So, are your plugs firing? To check this, take one of them out, put the wire back on and ground the plug to the block (I like to use insulated pliers for this) while someone cranks the engine. You should see a nice blue spark in the gap when it fires. If you see "fire", the next step would be to make sure your timing is right. With #1 piston at TDC on the compression stroke, the rotor should be pointing to the #1 wire on the cap.
If your don't have "fire", you could have a bad coil, grounded points, or a bad condenser.
Good luck and let us know how you make out. | | | |
