Sounds like your timing is off to me.

Do you have fuel and spark?

Did you put the engine at TDC on the compression stroke when re-installing the distributor?

Firing order?

ya ive got spark and fuel... i had the truck at top dead center.. now i gotta pull the shaft and start over with the fucker...

Don't forget to pull the spout plug too

i had the truck at top dead center..

Be sure it's on the compression stroke. The camshaft turns once for every 2 crankshaft revolutions. Put your finger into the #1 spark plug hole, turn the engine over with a breaker bar until air pushes it out. You should be able to line up the T/C mark on the harmonic balancer at that point. This is the right TDC.

Hints of a thermally challenged TFI/ignition module. Just fine cold but as soon as it reaches operating temp it cuts out...meaning, it simply dies.
