351 windsor not starting

I have an 88 f250 with a 351w in it that isnt starting. Yesterday it was running fine and all of a sudden it died like it was running out of gas. I filled it up and nothing. Its got 2 new fuel pumps and fuel filter. I can hear the pumps come on when i turn the key. I sprayed a little starting fluid in her (i know its bad to do) and still nothing. So i figured it must be spark. Now it will fire and almost start but die quickly. Then i try to start it again and it cranks and doesnt fire at all. Then i will let it sit and try it again and it does the same thing. Is it just a weak spark? If it is how do i fix this.
