Shay 5607; Welcome to the best Ford Truck web site; I'm sure someone will post shortly with a more indepth answer than mine; You mention you got power to your postive sign of your coil; but what's the volts of that power reading? I also would check the ground in your distributor to ensure its has a good contact; if you got a standard dizzy setup.
Hope this helps or atleast gets others to chime in with better mechanical answers. I'm just an old Shade tree Mechanic with alot of leaves missing. I wouldn't be surprize that someone hasn't chime in by the time I type this out.
Again welcome to an excellent resource of infomation.

Mitch

If you put on a new fuel pump or the pump is dry, you may have to prime the pump. On my truck I have had to suck the fuel to the punp and fill the filter can with fuel before it would pump.
