So I gravity fed the fuel pump and turned the motor over. It built pressure and seemed to function okay.

Before doing this, I installed new spark plugs and changed the oil and oil filter.

I attempted to crank the truck but had no success getting it to start. Determined there was no spark at the spark plugs. After a little investigating, I found that there was not a good negative at the coil. I ran a negative wire straight to the battery and connected to the coil negative. I then had a good 12 volts at the coil. Tried again and nothing. Taking the coil wire off of the distributor and grounding it while turning over produced no spark.

I think my final conclusion is the coil is bad. When I checked the resistance of the primary and secondary they were both within range but low. I'm going to pick up a cheap coil at Autozone tomorrow and try again.
