Leave it attached to the truck to recharge the batt.......or trickle charge it w/a bat charger (would be better).

get a meter and make sure you are getting 12v at the coil. I would assume if you have enough juice to roll over the engine you should have enough at the coil. Also, double check your coil wire to the dist. make sure the connections are tight and the wire is good. Did you get pre-fab wires or make them yourself?
