95 5.0L starting issues. Please Help

Guys, i have a 96 5.0L 4x4 auto. It cranks, and i have power to the coil. I checked the ground and hot side of coil w/ a noid light and don't have a ground. It is not lighting up the light like it should. I also put a new ignition module on the truck and a new distributor and had same symptoms. I do have power to the coil, just now ground. Any help would be great!

Back to basics. Do you have fire at the plugs ? Do you have fuel pressure ? What do the plugs look like ?
