sounds like you have bad wiring...

Also, you're running an H.O. engine in a Renix truck... you ecu is could be the wrong one, but you should still get spark.

did you plug every plug back in the right place ? did you plug the CPS located ontop between the belhousing and engine on drivers side ?
Have you double checked every plug on engine ?have you checked all the fuses ?
