First do a mechanical check to make sure the camshaft is turning with the crankshaft while cranking to verify the timing is intact. Then make sure that the distributor is also turning to make sure it is engaged.
You need to actually follow the voltage from the battery through to the high voltage distributor and spark plug using a volt meter/spark tester and a good manual for this vehicle. That manual will give you the wiring diagrams and should tell you how to test each component before replacement.
When everything on the +Positive side is good, make sure all of the ground strap connections are solid and clean. Older vehicles rust and can lose the ground connection. Without a ground, it won't work!
Good luck.
SOURCE: 1984 toyota pickup 22r motor. No fire to distributor
At the cost of the igniter i recommend checking your pickup coil.( The 2 wire sensor in side of your distributor. The The igniter will not allow the coil to fire with out reference form the pickup coil. Coil has primary and secondary resistances. when the primary coil powers up and then pulses off, this cause a high voltage due to magnetic degeneration. Check the coils primary and secondary resitances along with the air gap in the pickup coil, and also check the resitances on the pickup coil. If i am right your igniter will be okay.Get a good manual for you truck, It will save you money down the road.
Toyota does not have at test proseger for the ingiter.
Also check the wires in between the pickup coil and the igniter.
I hope this helped.

outta gas? water or impurities in the fuel causing fouling?? check spark plugs do a visual
SOURCE: 1990 FORD F 150,SPARK ON THE COIL BUT NO FROM THE DISTRIBUTOR
i had the same problem. there is a group of wires that go by the distributer and branch off to the distributer and go towards the front. when i would jiggle it the van would die. it ended up being a pinched wire.
SOURCE: 1994 f150 no fire to coil or fuel pump
i got a 1994 f150 that starts but cuts right back off so i had no fuel psi so i put a new fuel pump and fillter then found out that it was not getting power to the pump the cut off is not triped and no brakes in the wires can anyone help??
SOURCE: no fire to distributor module, coi, pickup coil
Maybe a broken wire going to the distributor, Check that first. Check fuse also ( Engine fuse ). Check distribution box ( brain box ).
