I drove my truck to work, it ran like a dream, When I went to leave work it would turn over but not start. After I tryed a different battery I learned that I wasn't getting fuel or spark, but I can hear the fuel pump kick in. I am lost as to why it would go from running perfect to not running at all so fast. Please help

Sounds like hall effect switch or ignition module.

I purchased a whole new distibutor shaft complete with the parts mentioned above, Now can I just mark the old one and put the new one in the same way? Or is it still important to be at TDC? And if so, how do I get no 1 cylinder to TDC?

Good evening,

I attached the procedure for replacing the distributor assembly. Follow the directions and it will be an easy pull-out and replacement.
