I'm Back Guys!!! Kinda
Ok so as some of you know i had to say good bye to my psd when fuel was through the roof cause i couldnt afford it. well ran accross a deal from a friend. its a 1985 f-250 with a fuel injected 302. he wants only 650 for the truck. looks decent but dont run. he told me he has no spark and when they put a used coil on it they had no spark while cranking and one pop when they let off the switch. you guys have always been a huge help to me in the passed with my old rig so im hoping your kindness and knowledge can help me with this gas motor cause im in new territory now. thanks in advance fellas.

I think in 85 they were in the beginning stages of the ICM located on the distributor housing. Those fail often, and are fairly cheap to replace. You may need the thin walled socket to remove the two bolts holding the ICM to the distributor housing.
I say it could be this, within no 100% certainty, but being familiar with having to replace those very very very often when I would have no spark! LOL
