It Want Fire

My 1988 5.0 has 12volts to the cap and volts at the model but won't fire at plugs.Why is that?

Is the EEC plugged in? Is it storing any codes? Have you seen the "Cranks but Won't Start" checklist?

Well I had a guy look at it before and at that time it wasn't foreign at the coil.So he took a price of wire and jump the coil from the batter and it started up.I drove it up the road and all and had no problems.The I parked it and took his batter out cause mine was bad.I bought a new and put it in 2 weeks later and it went back to doing the same.Turning over but not crank.I came back and look again and checked volts it fires 12volts every where it's supports to.He said it shorted the distributor model.Could that be.I was going to buy a whole new distributor.Before it done this I drove it ,and it drove like it did from day one.Then I parked it and went out of town for 2 and a half weeks.When I got back I went to drive it and it just turned over and backed fire a little but don't do it any more it's just turns over.
