Just a thought. If you can't fix the spark,
could you replace the electronic distributor with the old one with points and condenser?
I'm guessing Dodge just modified the old distributor with an electronic one. They most likely didn't change anything inside the engine.
Somewhat like YT people do with replacing points with electronic ignition.
It is possible. I had a '85 Chrysler 5th Avenue 318 which had the more advanced computer controlled spark setup and feedback carburetor. I got tired of fighting it and didn't have a lot of money so I put a regular carburetor on it and an older electronic ignition module and distributor (some parts I had on hand) on it but the hood temperatures were so high it kept taking the module out. I then put in a point distributor and the car ran fine after that. If the truck has a regular carburetor all that would need to be changed is the distributor, some wiring and yes, a different ignition resistor.

My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
