it has been a long time since I got rid of my 75 Dodge power wagon, I remember the same problems, there is a resistor on the firewall next to the brake booster, which comes off of the coil through the distributor you may want to check that for resistance, also that truck has a ignition control module on the firewall on the passenger side those often go bad to.
