I replaced pickup coil, rotor, dist cap, all needed replacement. started right up, ran for 2 hours. Shut the truck off, turned key, clicking sound. I was going to replace the ignition module, (I think thats what its called), which is under and off to the side of the distributer cap, but didn't. Could that be the issue?
If it won't crank over, it's a problem in the starting circuit, not the ignition circuit. Check your battery and starter for clean, tight connections. Listen for that click to see if it comes from the starter solenoid on the starter-maybe have someone try to start it while you watch and listen under the hood. If the click is from the solenoid (and not from the starter relay), then the starter is not getting full battery power to crank (bad connection), or the starter needs to come off and be tested.
If the click is from the starter relay, you could pull off the little purple wire to the starter solenoid and see if it has 12 volts when the key is in start position. If you have power there in cranking position on the switch, the solenoid is bad or the starter may be the problem-again, it will have to come off for testing. If you have no power at the solenoid in cranking position, the circuit from the ignition switch to the solenoid is not working. The start relay and the neutral safety switch (or clutch switch if manual transmission) are in the starting circuit from ignition switch to the starter solenoid. Good luck.

I have spark coming from the coil to the dist by using a screw driver to ground it to something and got spark and then tried it again and got nothing. I am not sure what the hi tension lead is ( sorry) and were is it located on the coil? if so I did try the spark on the coil.

sounds like the ground strap to me, it wouldn't be that the wires are in the wrong order that would still give you spark just to the wrong cylinder and believe me you'd know immediatly in that case.
No spark means no contact to the coil plain and simple..

there's a roll pin that goes thru the drive gear.I'd change the ignition coil before the pick-up coil, if the pick up goes you'd be lucky if it would run above idle.if it has no power when it does run, try the ignition coil first.

If you are getting fuel then yes, replace the ignition module. Let me know if you need anything else.
