With nothing coming from the coil, it doesn't sound like anything related to the distributor. However, I wonder if the aluminum upper intake is a good conductive ground for testing purposes? I prefer to use some type of unpainted body contact point. Just a thought. Double check the connection to the coil via the electrical plug to see if it looks OK (nothing loose or burnt). I was going to suggest that it could be a problem with the ignition key, but you said that the fuel pump is priming and the car is cranking over. Still, it might not be a bad idea to use a circuit tester to see if you have power running to the coil.

I was talking with the guy working on my SMPV, and asked him about your issue. Kris said that it could be a bad TFI module. Hope you can pin down the cause...

Not sure about finding a Ford-made part. I found plenty of listings for Accel, MSD, and Mallory though.
