Electrical problem
1979 Ford F-250 V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual

I have replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, ignition coil and moduler. But yet I still cant get any spark. I cannot get any power from the inside of my truck the only way to try and start it, is from the solenoid. What could this be?

Do you have battery voltage on the coil positive terminal if not test the ignition switch could also be causing the problem with no crank

Okay ya it cranks with the solenoid but would the ignition switch have anything to do with it not getting spark? I will test that coil positive terminal later today tho.

Check if you're getting fuel if so check the valve and ignition timing
