Good to know that Darrell. My fuse link has only gone once and the fuse went at the same time so wasn't sure what it caused to not work :oops:

Quick update, truck was still parked where I left it last night luckily, so me and the old man towed it back!

Have checked:-

Sparkplugs
Ht leads
Dizzy cap
Coil
Fuses/fuse link

BUT still no spark? Or instrument panel? Am I being stupid?

It is turning over no problem just not sure what to do next! HELP!

Does it have the green PCB fuse board in the passenger footwell. Might be a broken track or corroded plug on that.

Do the heater and wipers work?

Can you go through and let us know exactly what does and doesn't work.

it could actually be the ignition switch if the heaters and wipers don't work as well.

Yeh the heater and wipers work as well as the lights, indicators, radio, dash clock. It's literally just the instrument cluster so none of the warning lights when ignition is turned on, no rev counter either and the speedo has never worked since I've had it!
So this afternoon I checked and re-checked the fuses,coil,ht leads,spark plugs, starter motor, alternater! All seem to be ok it turns over fine to! Could it be the distributer? I think it's electronic ignition so could something have blown in the housing?
Absolutely lost as to what else it could be

Has you got 12v at the coil when the ignition has turned on?
