Default 84 strait 6 will not start, please help!

Hey guys, im at a loss and i figured this would be the best place to ask. My truck broke down on the freeway, acted like it ran out of gas. So far i have replaced the fuel pump, the starter solenoid, the coil, and checked the new fuel pump and it is getting gas. It has to be no spark, but i cannot figure out why. The starter turns, gives fuel, but won't turn over once. Is this a common problem that someone has delt with before? I also checked all fuses and replaced old electric connections. Thank you!

If the truck is not getting spark, then it is most likely the ICM, located on the distributor. You can have it tested at any auto parts store like napa, autozone ect. Hope this helps
