No Spark..Have changed everything, I think!
85 f150 inline 6. I have changed the coil, ignition control module and pickup coil. I have checked and can not see any broken wires. The rotor is turning. Is there a fuse inside the cab somewhere? I have check and and can not find one at the fuse box. Where else can I check? If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it I am at a loss here.
Thanks,
Mark

If I were you, my first purchase would have been a $5 test light at your local auto parts store. If this would not have helped, my second purchase would have been a $15 DVM. (digital volt meter with ohm meter) It quite possibly would have saved you some moolah........

Bad ignition switch?
Fried fuseable link?
Broken or burned resistor wire from ignition switch to coil? = 49" long~color coded red with two green stripes.
The list is endless...
...and just because the parts are new, it doesn't mean they are any good. Some autoparts stores now sell new or rebuilt parts made in countries like China, and these parts can be crappola from the get go.
You need to do what Kruse has advised...get some decent test equipment.

I know I need to invest in some test equipment...I dont do much as far as engine mach...only on my own stuff and dont think of it till I need it. I have found the problem...stupid on my part...the connector on the coil is one piece...I did not have it on all the way. I thought I had and didnt check it again till now. Oh well you live and learn...I want to thank everyone who had responded defenetly all great advice!!!! Thanks again.
