Please rephrase this, as I cannot understand what you are saying. Are you saying you replaced them, if so, was this before or after the problem? By the way, welcome to FTE.

Double check your wiring and firing order. If they are off by one in the rotation, it'll do what you're describing. There is also a duraspark troubleshooting guide floating around somewhere on the web, I used it and found things wrong I didn't even know about. One other thing, you can also have the ignition module checked at like an Autozone just like starters and stuff for free. Ok, maybe one other thing, there are also at least two different modules. They look about the same, except on the 4 wire connector side, the wires are in different order. Don't ask me how I know. Just thought I'd throw those out there. Hope it helps.

hey i have had the same exact problem with my 75 f-350 slow crank and no start what i had i to do for the no start is rebuild/replace the carb. my floats were sunk so it was getting to much fuel and just flooded it self out. what i figured out was that the fuel washed all the oil off the cylinder walls and caused massive amount of friction internally, after i got it restarted. it wouldn't run for crud, it used an 1/2 tank of fuel going 10 miles and it has the behing the seat tank. but any way that is what i had to do to fix mine try it and let us know
