The truck stalled yesterday then could not get it to start up. It cranks over and over but wont start, I used a tester to check for spark and there is no spark. I replaced the coil pack and distributor cap and rotor, still no spark.

Have you replaced the distributor module? This is quite common that when it goes bad you get no spark. If you like I could walk you through a test to verify it is bad but you will need a digital multi meter. Let me know what you want to do.

Ok it is an 86 F-150 with a V-8 right. I need to know what V-8 and under the hood there is a sticker that tells you what emissions it has weather it is california or federal and also is it injected or carburated? Get back to me so I can answer you questions and we can go to testing it.
