Thanks James for the info and the points on what to check. It turned out the MSD dist. or the module took a dump. The fact that the coil was getting 12 volts but nothing coming out to the dist. so I swapped in the stock motorcraft dist. and it started. Freakin MSD junk had me stranded so I yanked the 6AL out just in case that's faulty.
