Yo zkyllonen,
Try a Self Test for Diagnostic Trouble Codes by my pal, BroncoJoe19 @

Of course, do just tge Key on, engine off portion.
Primary Voltage
1.Attach the negative lead of a voltmeter to the distributor base.
2.Turn the ignition switch ON and connect the positive voltmeter lead to the negative (-) ignition coil terminal. Note the voltage reading and turn the ignition OFF. If the voltmeter reading is less than 90 percent of the available battery voltage, inspect the wiring between the ignition module and the negative (-) coil terminal, then proceed to the Ignition Coil Supply Voltage test.
Supply Voltage
1.Attach the negative lead of a voltmeter to the distributor base.
2.Turn the ignition switch ON and connect the positive voltmeter lead to the positive (+) ignition coil terminal. Note the voltage reading then turn the ignition OFF. If the voltage reading is at least 90 percent of the battery voltage, yet the engine will still not run; first, check the ignition coil connector and terminals for corrosion, dirt, and/or damage; second,
replace the ignition switch if the connectors and terminal are okay.
3.Connect any remaining wiring.

miesk5 Note, due to recent Bronco Zone "site upgrade", the Logic Test is gone. But here is a copy I have in my site;
Secondary Voltage
1.Disconnect the secondary (high voltage) coil wire from the distributor cap and install a spark tester between the coil wire and ground.
2.Crank the engine. A good, strong spark should be noted at the spark tester. If spark is noted, but the engine will not start, check the spark plugs, spark plug wiring, and fuel system. If there is no spark at the tester: Check the ignition coil secondary wire resistance; it should be no more than 5,000 ohms per foot. Inspect the ignition coil for damage and/or carbon tracking. With the distributor cap removed, verify that the distributor shaft turns with the engine; if it does not, repair the engine as required. If the fault was not found proceed to the Ignition Coil Primary Voltage test in below;
