Default 88 5.0 no start!

The other day I am drinving along, no problem, coasting down a hill. Come up the other side and hit the gas and it is dead. Roll to a stop and it cranks back over fine. Drive for about 2 mile after that no issue. Shut off and run into store. Come back out and it jsut cranks, no start. I checked forgas pump pressure up, heard that. Checked for spark from Coil, nothing that I could see. Put on a new coil, still nothing.
Any idea's?

why the hell would you replace your coil first???? Did you even bother to check your TFI module?

well anyway, its attached to your distributor. its where the wire harness plugs in. See if you can return the coil you bought and buy the ignition module (TFI module) instead
