If you have spark, the ignition system is fine. That's the ignition system's one job. If the existing ignition module facilitates spark being produced, what would you expect another ignition module to do? Wanting something to be the problem does not make it the problem.
You're telling us the engine won't run because of a fuel or ignition issue, but indicated that you have fuel and spark. Both can't be true, right? There must be more to the story.

Im aware that it can't be both. I spoke with the guy that's doing my exhaust about the issue and he's going to look into it. He's got about 20 years more experience on the subject than I do. Plus he won't be able to work on it for a couple of weeks and I'm leaving out Monday and won't be back for at least a month. I know its something simple but its going to aggravate me not knowing the problem. I've checked both wires from the harness on they are working properly. So I'm stumped! I think a new set of eyes will help. I'm hung up on what I've seen and he will be starting fresh. I'll post my results as soon as I get them. Thanks for yalls help

OK just got back to the states earlier this week and I called the guy that has my truck and its ready. My problem that had me stumped was as simple as the ignition control module. Said he put a new motor craft on it and it runs great. I'm going to get her today. I'm like a kid on Christmas! Thanks for everyone's help.
