Make sure rotor is turning in dist. while cranking. If so, connect jaws of test lite to pos battery terminal. Stick pointed end in neg terminal of coil connector. You can unplug this connector and look down coil connection for pos - neg terminals. Then, while cranking, if test lite flashes and there,s no spark from coil, its the coil. If no flashes and the ign module is good and is has power and ground when its supposed to its probably the pick up coil inside dist.

Hey guys, you were right. About a month ago I had tried to replace the pick up coil inside but ended up breaking a tooth on the gear so I just went and got another distributor at one of your brand name auto stores. I figured since I just replaced it, it must be good. Well, today I went out and bought and changed the coil and was still not getting any juice through the coil so of to the store I went again. Changed the distributor out again (still under warranty) and presto, Nelly, my Bronco, started right up. I appreciate the input guys and you can rest assured I will seek your advice again soon, she stalls out after running a while, but that is a problem for another day. Once again folks thanks for the help.
