Ignition no spark output?

Sorry it has been a while, things have been crazy in my neck of the woods! I tried the timing trick, with no luck really. I have a pretty heavy relay, I think I might put that in line with the timing spout, while getting power from the coil (so that the spout is disconected while cranking the starter). I know its not the right way to fix it but it may work for a while!

It does run alot better with the new distributor and all!

My truck has no spark it ran the other day came home and turned it off hooked up the battery charger for about 20 min came back out and tryied to start it and it woundnt it has no spark took test light and put on coil and had power to both sides and when turned motor over test light flashed on coil but still no spark even tryied new brain box and still nothing can eneyone help me

Take a test light and check to make shure you have a 12volt source going to the coil. If you do then check the power coming out of the coil or replace coil.
If you have spark from the coil to the distributer then check the cap and rotor. Some times the metal tong that transfers power from the middle (coil) lug to the rotor to the pickups that go to the wires can break off or get corroded. Another thing it may be is the magnetic pickup in the distributer which tells the coil to fire. Try a different distributer if one is available

Have an 85 F150 XLT, replaced altenator and coil. Not getting any spark thru distributor. Help me trace it down? Does anyone know what it could be?

I had this problem constantly with my '84. The (rectangular) module which was/is attached to the distributor was placed too close to the engine and gets too hot and malfunctions. Either it will cool off and work for a while or will not work again and it needs to be replaced. I learned to keep an extra one handy as I used it more than my spare tire. Pick up a one or two at a junk yard for about $10.

Thank you, that was the problem.

I just put in another 302 in my truck, it has new alternator, starter, relay, distributor, cap, rotor, points, plug wires, and coil. I had it running ok, and went to test drive it, I found a small leak in the brake line, repaired it, and went to start it in the morning for a test drive, and I have no spark. I bought a new coil, and nothing. I pulled the coil wire out, no spark, no arcing from any wires, spark plug wires too. I did nothing but replace a brake line, and now I have nothing. I checked fuses, ran power direct, what am I missing?

It was from the distribution block, to the front DR side wheel, very short, no wires around there.

Its all simple, points and coil, no electronic ignition. But I will double check everything again.

I am rechecking points today, I chose to go old schoo
l when I put this motor in, didn't want all the electronic hassles.

Friend bought the truck, guy said it just quit running one day. Its a 85 f150 with the 4.9 straight 6. We replaced the ICM and that didn't help then we replaced the ignition coil today and still nothing. I tested it at the coil itself and its not getting any spark at all there so its not the plugs or the cap and rotor. Any ideas what it could be?

It doesn't have a computer on it so I can't check codes, its carburated. And I don't see any fuseable links on it, there's no fusebox under the hood nut all under the dash are ok
