This truck has just a tad over 300K.
I am going to pull the distributor and if the bushings are still ok, will pull it apart and just rebuild it with a new pickup coil. She is in dire need of a tune up anyway so might as well throw that in too.
I pretty sure that pickup coil is what triggers the pulse to the distributor module and tells the coil when to fire.

I can't find a description or diagram on what wire does what on that coil to really test it but will keep looking.
