351M No Spark Condition...
I was driving along the other night, and my engine died for a couple of seconds then started running again(On its own). About a mile down the road, as I turned at an intersection, the engine died again. I coasted to the side of the road, turned the key and it started right up, so off I went. Less than a mile from that point the engine died again, leaving me stranded and waiting on a tow. I am getting zero spark. Ive tried a new ignition module, and have installed a new distributor and coil. I also swapped iginition wiring harnesses from another truck. By the way its a '78 F-250 with a 351M. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks fellas.

I already have new battery cables and a new Interstate battery. I checked the voltage at the coil with the switch on: 12 volts on positive to ground and negative to ground, which usually indicates a good coil. I'm lost on this so far
