1984 coil +pos and-neg leads test hot
Presently the truck has no spark from coil , yet both + and - terminals of
coil when tested with a light tester grounded to neg., of battery will light up the tester when the ignition switch is on and the tfi plug to module on the side of the distributor I unhooked just to remove any back feedback from the module itself. So I believe the coil is at fault

Test Light Does Make A Flickering Effect To Test Light
I hooked back the plug in to the distributor side mounted module and hooked up the test light to the coil and turned it over and saw a fluctuation of the light as I was cranking it over in order to test the pickup. I further tested the coil by unhooking the connector to it and ran a hot wire from the battery to the + side of coil and test light test negative side of coil and it lights up and with what I know this should not happen according to what I have read and experience of vehicles- and I`m old school backyard mechanic that grew up with points.tin cans and coat hangers.
