No Spark at Coil
I have a 1978 ford F150 with a 351m. Its going to be a project truck.
Started it about a month ago no problem and when I went to start it the other day no go. There is no spark at the coil. Is it possible the ignition module died just sitting there.

can i clarify something? you might have said this but maybe im missing it. is there no power in the wire going TO the coil or is there no power coming out of the coil. if theres power getting to the coil but not after the coil, its definately the coil but if its not getting to the coil it most likely is the module but before you go out and buy a new module, check if there is power going to the ignition module. just use a test lignt, and remember to make sure the key is turned to the on position. now if there is no power going TO the module even, it could be your ignition switch or maybe (someone correct me if im wrong) there is a fuse for the ignition but not sure.
