I think your timing is off.

You need to insure the #1 cylinder is @ TDC on the compression stroke, both valves closed, and set the distibutor at the number one wire. As Grey mentioned before, this will get you started but you eventually want to be at 10 BTDC once it is runninng.

It's free to set the timing correctly. If you don't do this, it doesn't matter what codes you get or what wires you probe. Your truck will never run without the timing set properly.
