No spark/start.

F250-82 400 DS II.

Started the truck and backed out of the garage and left it idle for a minute or two, then needed to move it a little and gave some throttle- it hesitated and died and the truck is from that moment stone dead and no spark
Have performed some tests according to Haynes Ford PU 80-94 Chapter 5 Engine electrical system Duraspark II.
Some observations is:
faulty ballas resistor ?-get no readings at ohm-test
bad distibuter?-get no readings when measuring the resistance of stator and wiring harness acc Haynes chap 5 pict 5.51 and 5.55 and using the distributer base as connecting point. When checking the stator itself it seems ok-590 ohm. When measuring between the dist connector and the dist base-no readings. After the truck died there is no ignition light coming on on the instrument cluster.
I feel I need some help to solve this problem.
