is battery charged? if so make sure there is power to stator. If power to stator check for power to the coil. then make sure there is power coming from the coil.

have you checked the rotor under the distributor cap, maybe it has some build up on it and not allowing contact?

it would still crank, but if it's all carboned up it's not letting spark through.
"I wrecked my truck a while back..."
At some point in time Ford installed an "impact switch" to **** the motor in case of a crash. Not sure if it (the switch) canceled the fuel or electric....
A friend blew a tire & the flying pieces (In the wheel-well) activated the switch on his rig....gave them fits trying to get it running again.
Don't know what year/years they installed them but worth a check....

I am not sure if ford did an actual **** switch but I "think" they first went with the inertia switch in 85-86 which cuts power to your fuel pump.
