HELP! No spark advance

I don't seem to have any spark advance to my distributor. I unplugged my SPOUT jumper and there was no change in the timing.

Where do I start looking for this one? I have no check engine light on. I haven't run the codes with the engine running yet.

It's a 1994 F-150 XLT with 5.0 and automatic transmission.


Thanks in advance for any advice.

I shoud have mentioned that in my first post that I already tried that one with no results. The SPOUT check ok with an ohm meter and tried jumpering the connector it plugs into with no positive result.
