Remove the spark plug, reconnect the plug wire, ground the plug, and turn the Flywheel and Check for Fire at the plug. Make Sure you Don't Try to Stop the Engine After you Give it A Quick Spin With you Hand. The Coil will Fire the Plug if it is Good. The Electronic Ignition is Built Inside the Coil. Or you could just hold the plug wire in you fingers and ever so slightly turn the flywheel over. If you get shocked, the coil is good.

One of the answers said to replace the pick up coil- what is it and where is it thanks?
The pick up coil is located at the base of the distributor and plugs into the ignition module. The pick up coil's purpose is to sense or "pick up" the pulses of the distributor and tell the ignition module when to fire the spark plugs. The most critical part of the replacement of the pick up coil is to make certain you properly mark the orientation of the distributor to the engine block and the rotor to the distributor base. When you successfully make these markings, you will not need to check your timing when this job is finished.

How do you determine if your pick up coil is bad Im getting no spark and have narrowed it to the pick up coil or the ign module but dont wann abuy both if only ones bad How can i check?
to save time and money the best way to find the problem is to have diagnostic test done this way here you want have any doubts if you remove the module (not too hard). autozone and other places like that can test it for you for free. if its good then you know to replace the pick up coil. if its bad then you know to replace the module. you can aslo test the coil with a multimeter but i would guess that you dont have one and this would be a lot more work... I like to pull a known good module from another truck, I have had gm modules pass the bench test that were actually bad, so you end up chasing your tail looking for other problems when there are none.
