I got the new distributor installed and did my best to keep everything lined up from removal to installation. I still have the cranking but no start problem.
Could I have messed up the timing and not realized it?
Would the timing being messed up cause the truck not to start?
Could the PIP being bad mess up the ICM I recently installed?

You could have but if you did you should still have spark. Check to see if you are getting spark.
It can.
No. The PIP sensor is just an off & on switch to the ICM.

OK... so I got a spark tester and had a buddy help me out.. He said there was good spark. I wondered if it would be a fuel issue so I picked up some starter fluid.. Sprayed a little into the throttle body... got a backfire but no start. I'm going to have to recharge the battery because i've killed it.. now it is barely cranking...
any other tests I should attempt? What direction should I go in?
Could the broken plastic hose be causing this?

The pumps are good, there is spark, I tried starter fluid to see if it was a fuel issue... truck didn't start... I'll have to get a timing light and figure out how to do the timing... Learn by fire as they say....

Good news.... i finally got the distributor lined up right and got the truck started. now I just need to fine tune it and all should be good...
My question is....
i still need to finish putting the new plugs and wires on... Should i do this first and then mess with the timing or should i get the timing right now and then finish the plugs and wires?
