1985 Toyota Pickup Truck would not start this Morning

To see if it is firing pull a spark plug out and ground it to the engine( leave the plug wire on the plug) have a helper start the truck while you look at the plug. You should see a bright blue spark. If you do see a blue spark then start looking at the fuel system.

Come back with your results.

Yes you can test it with a ohm or multimeter .

Go to this web address for directions and it also has a diagram .

Have you tested the pick-up coil (also known as signal generator)>?It's located in the distributor .

Remove the distributor cap and ignition rotor.(1) Check the air gap between the timing rotor spoke and the pick-up coil. When aligned, the air gap should be 0.008-0.016 in.. You will probably have to bump the engine around with the starter to line up the timing rotor.(2) Unplug the distributor connector at the distributor. Connect one wire of the ohmmeter to the white wire, and one wire to the pink wire.

The resistance of the signal generator should be
130-190

Also inspected the rotor for burns or cracks .

No you don't have to remove the distributor .Just remove the two Phillip screws. in the pic there circled in black .

3. Turn the engine using a socket wrench on the front pulley bolt until the projection on the pickup coil is directly opposite the signal rotor tooth.

4. Get a non-ferrous (paper, brass, or plastic) feeler gauge of 0.30mm, and insert it into the pick-up air gap. DO NOT USE AN ORDINARY METAL FEELER GAUGE! The gauge should just touch either side of the gap. The permissible range is 0.20-0.40mm.

The air gap on all 1987-88 engines is NOT adjustable. If the gap is not within specifications, the distributor must be replaced.

5. If the gap is either too wide or too narrow, loosen the two Phillips screws mounting the pick-up coil onto the distributor base plate. Then, wedge a screwdriver between the notch in the pick-up coil assembly and the two dimples on the base plate, and turn the screwdriver back and forth until the pick-up gap is correct.
6. Tighten the screws and recheck gap, readjusting if necessary.

No prob.
