I was driving down the hi-way and my truck shut off. Now It turns over but will not start. I am getting fuel into the bowl, but no spark out of the #1 plug wire. will i get spark if I have jumped time?

Check/Test the ignition pick-up coil and the module in the distributor to include the coil

You check the resistances of the pick-up coil should be 400-600 ohms-the module you have to bring it in, the coil you check the primary and secondary windings
