STARTING TROUBLE - E150, 1985

I have trouble with starting my E150 - 1985 Ford Van. It was working fine and suddenly will not start. I checked there is no spark when I lifted the high tension cable from the center of distributer and tested with a spark plug. I replaced the ignition module mounted at bottom side of distributer and replugged 6 pin socket to it and twisted wires of single pin connector as it was broken. still no spark. can you guide me what can I check or replace the Coil?

Hello harks, and welcome.
I see that your new, and this site can be confusing at first, so if you have found it already there is a forum for the 80-86 trucks and vans, post your question over there, they’ll help you out. Many of us are not too familiar with the none electronic ignition.
No harm done, and again welcome to the best truck site ever!
