You've got the right idea. I'd start at the coil and work my way to the plugs until I find the proble. Sounds like your not getting a soark. Could be anything betwen the coil and the plugs. Use the tried and true, "trial and error" methood. Good luck

Don't forget to check your timing chian/gears. I had the same thing happen to a 79 LTDII with a 351.....it ran great until I went to start it the next day......:-X23 it would sound like it was starting to fire up but just died when the key was released.... Good Luck
