Unhappy I need help Ford F150

I am having problems with my truck which is a 1990 ford F150 has a 302 motor. It will not start there is no spark the motor just turns over. I used it the day before and when I parked it for the night things where just fine. The next morning I went to leave with work the truck would not start. If it wasn't for the truck having sentamental value to me I would not care. I the truck was my father truck and when he died 2 years ago I bought it from my mother. I did have the ignition module change and that is not it. can someone help me Please!

Can you give us a year for your truck, that can help us troubleshoot a little better.

cool,
usually on the "later" model fords the ignition module is the fault,

Next to check would be the coil's high tension wire (plug wire), the cap and rotor, the ignition pickup, and check for broken wires.

Check to see if your making any AC voltage through it while your cranking the engine over.
