Spark fuel issue

I have a 1994 f-250 with the 460 in it. It isn’t getting spark or fuel and I’ve tried everything.
replaced the distributor, intuition coil, spark plugs and wires, and fuel filter.
i don’t know if it’s just the battery or if it’s a grounding issue.
how do I figure out if it’s a grounding issue? Do I have to check every ground on the truck or is there a way to look with the ecm?

A fuel pump can not cause no spark. Try unplugging the PCM/ECM and see if spark returns.

Not questioning your abilities, but, how did you determine both no spark and no fuel happening at the same time? Any recent work done prior to these issues?
I have the same engine, so I may or may not be able to help. Just need more info, please.
