1990 Ford Bronco V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have replaced the spark plugs, plug wires, dist cap and rotor what should I try next the coil? It is still missing and chuggingalthough not near as bad. Also read here about disconnecting egr valve I will try this, what is an easy way to check the coil without a meter?Still missing and chugging I unplugged the egr valve and it didnt seem to make a difference. Added gunk out injector cleaner to fuel will see if that makes a difference. What else do you suggest that I try or do?

Unplug egr valve. You can buy a spark checker for a few dollars that will let you know the output of it, around 25000 volts.
