scottbit,
It can become frustrating. In the beginning, only the wire/battery situation was mentioned.
If the distributor was removed, points and condenser replaced and things just generally tinkered with, the playing field has changed.
Without trying to insult your mechanical IQ, each of these operations must be performed correctly or the truck won't start or run.
Reinstalling the distributor and static timing it is straightforward, if you know how to do it!
Double check your work and verify that each step is proper, check it off and move to the next item. The proof of the pudding will be when you turn the key and Mr. Truck roars to life.
