Won't Start

Thanks for the reply. I don't know how to check the pickup coil without removing the distributor. if it's any help I don't even have power at the pink wire that goes from the ignition switch to the ignition coil. I didn't replace the pickup

it just cranks & cranks but it won't start, there's no power on the pink wire in the on position or while cranking. another thing I just noticed when i turn the ignition switch to the on position I don't see the gauge lights like the battery,park brake & so on.if i put the jumper wire on the coil & battery the gauges show ok, but it still won't start. thanks so much for your help! PS: the pink wire on the picture is at the ignition switch, with no power when cranking or when switch is turned to the on position.

Thanks for any help.

Boy I sure when in the wrong direction I wish I just listened to you because I for frustrated and took it to the shop and they installed a rebuilt distributor and now I have my truck back for the tune 350.00. But its fixed!
