just bought truck and installed head gasket was running before. I have checked and rechecked all wiring connections and timming but I am not getting any spark please help me
 
DIS( not ebonics) is bad, Coils are bad. too much dielectric on your connections. Bad fuse in the main box underhood. Start at the beginning of the ignition system (battery) and work your way all the way through, re-checking connectionss parts, relays, wires, everything till you get to the wires. Dont forget to check ground wires, the starter connections.

Pull each spark plug wire off the coil while turning it over and hold 1/4 inch from the coil, look for spark. check the plugs themselves.

Oh, also we need more details of what exactly it is or isnt doing.

We have a tech library on the home page that outlines the entire ignition system. Also a chiltons or haynes manual is your bestest friend.
