Engine Mechanical problem
1983 Dodge Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

We have a 1983 Dodge Ram 250. We were driving down the road it popped and quit. We have replaced coil, all boxes on the firewalls, timing chain distributor and still cannot get it to start. The coil is getting orange fire but not blue. Any suggestions?

Timing chain? All the boxes on the firewall? Got spark, so you changed the distributor? Blindly throwing parts at a problem is a very expensive and inefficient way of troubleshooting a problem.

Are you getting fuel?
