no spark
been putting my truck back together.i had the engine running,then i switch the wire harness for the alternator because the alternator wasn't charging.then it wouldn't start at all,just crank and crank,no spark.so i switched the wire harness back and it still wont fire.so i replaced the magnetic pick up in the distributor. still no spark.i have power to the cap,and coil.just no spark..any idea what could cause this??

First, what are we dealing with? I would assume a stock Duraspark II or is it aftermarket.
Are you saying you replaced the pick up coil in the distributor or the reluctor?
Usually a no spark condition can be traced to a bad DS module. It's much less common for the pickup coil to go bad.
