I'm assuming you've done the "easy" verification that the distributor is turning and you could see the spark if it was produced...

Yea.. that the dizzy spins when you turn over the truck is the "simple" test.
You can check the signals at the ECU based on my diagram. Let me know if the mechanic doesn't understand.
3.0 ECUs are a dime a dozen, don't spend big bucks.. Make SURE before you buy one!

Do this: Take a spark plug and put it in a plug wire, and hold it against a known good ground and crank the motor. Do it for each plug wire, one by one.
If there is ANY spark, on ANY of the wires, it's not the ignitor.
I was only getting the tiniest of sparks on #4, but the ignitor was fine.
