Not really, you should be able to borrow one from an autoparts store. And when setting the base timing you have to remove the spout plug(little grey jumper in the TFI harness) to disable computer advance.

Why did you replace the distributor and ICM? Is this a new or rebuilt distributor?
Fuel pressure at the fitting on the fuel rail? At idle and load.
How old are the filters?
Was this problem present before you replaced the distributor?
Have you checked for codes?

If the truck runs fine when cold, i.e. Open Loop then you would think the fuel pressure is good. But I never anything to chance, I would suggest checking the fuel pressure when the truck is cold and when it warms up.
If the pressure is good then that leads us to operation where the computer (PCM) is relying on sensor input not the default settings of open loop. If the truck is indeed displaying System Pass Code 11 for KOEO and CM then you need to run the Key On Engine Running (KOER) tests.
