Did you ever get your truck fixed. I am having the same issue that you are having. I've got the base timing set perfectly but one I hook that wire up it starts acting really weird and won't run. Did you ever find out what was causing your problems. And would it be safe to drive the truck without the advance timing plug hooked up. Help pleaseI had a weird intermittent problem with the truck randomly dying then sometimes restarting and sometimes not. I’ve pulled the distributor and replaced the icm and pickup coil and it already had a fairly new cap and rotor. Shaft look good and gear had no wear on it. Reinstalled now and timed to 0 degrees without the timing advanced plugged in but now it won’t run with it plugged in. Runs great without it plugged though which leads me to think I have a bad icm out of the box?
It’s an o Reilly’s accel part I believe. Should I just try at least 2-3 more to be sure? I’m limited on my ability to diagnose these engines.
I should add it’s a rebuilt motor with maybe 30k miles and it has new plugs and coolant temp sensor and before I pulled distributor ran great besides the weird occasional dying issue.
I have heard of that being the ignition module. But there's other things it could be also.Did you ever get your truck fixed. I am having the same issue that you are having.

Safe? Yeah, I guess.And would it be safe to drive the truck without the advance timing plug hooked up.
