Truck lost power while driving down road. Will crank now but won't start. I replaced ignition coil, point and condenser... roter turns. Any suggestions?

May be the fuel pump?

. Test all underhood and underdash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

. Test for spark. Perform the standard spark test; i.e. remove a spark plug wire and attach it to a properly gapped spark plug, touch the plug to a convenient ground, and observe the spark, while someone cranks the engine. Look for a good, solid spark. Did you gap the points properly?

. Test for fuel. Do you hear the fuel pump run, when the ignition key is turned to ON?

I changed rotor also. Gapped and regapped points with a feeler gauge just to make sure. Now the problem is NO fire from coil to distributor. I am going back to exchange coil for 3rd one. 1st one was def. bad, not sure about 2nd so I am going to try a 3rd.

Make sure coil wire is good .the one from the coil to the top of the distributor cap.

Mah I tried checking the coil wire but not sure if I did it right. It is also getting plenty of fuel.

Going to change coil and check all fuses now. I will get back with you... How can I check the cable for sure?

Test for power to the distributor.

If you have a volt meter,you can put in on ohms,and check the resistance.the same way you check a fuse. Or you can just buy the single coil wire and replace it. Its been a while since I've worked on a 74 but from memory there is a porcelin piece on the firewall ,that has wires going to it,its white porcelin I think and has two studs coming out of it .and wires attach to it.it will cause ignition problems also.

What engine do you have in the truck a 6 or an 8 cyl, when you are setting the points with a feeler gauge,are you rotating the engine,so the points open and close?

It does have the porcelain thing on the firewall. I am working on it and learning as I go so excuse my ignorance... It has a 250, 6cyl. In it. I tried a different coil wire off my truck that runs and still nothing.

We all have to learn and we are still learning. butchc1, don't worry about not knowing .might trade out the porcelin thing,as well just to see .
