Default HELP! Car randomly shut off...

So I put a motor in my 94 mustang GT to sell. After driving it about ten miles, it just shut off instantly. It cranks, but it wont fire up. So, first i pushed the on the valve on the fuel rail and fuel gushed out, so its getting fuel. I also have a 95 cobra, so i swapped a couple quick things to test. I swapped the little ignition module by the air intake, no luck. Swapped the coil, still no luck. I hooked up the spark tester to the wire coming off of the coil, and it didnt light the light up. Any ideas?

PIP inside the distributor is a good bet.

What's the PIP? The little module that bolts to the dizzy?
