No start puzzle

I've got a 89 F250 custom with a 5. 8 engine that I cannot get to start for the life of me.

It died on me a couple weeks ago and since then I've replaced the fuel filter, ignition coil, the distributor, all the spark plugs, and the battery.

It wasn't getting spark before the distributor replacement but it is now. Cranks but wont turn over even if I spray starter fluid into the air intake.

Just a tip for you. Stay with your old thread so more info is available. Starting multiple threads on the same subject is not helpful or in your best interest. Ask me how I know. Regards Sandy
