have you checked your distributor? Also check distributor wires and cap.

Re: 88 f-150 has no spark
make sure the engine is grounded good, that can cause some serious problems

Re: 88 f-150 has no spark
those braided wire straps, those are grounds, also there should be a ground from the ecu somewhere on the engine, look for loose wires, try running a couple heavy wires from the engine to the chassis, if you get spark after that go get a couple ground straps at the parts store and put them on there

Re: 88 f-150 has no spark
probably in the passenger side kick panel, but if there is a wire loose it probably wont be at the ecu, look under the hood

Re: 88 f-150 has no spark
Is your fuel pump working when engine is cranking? If not, the problem is a camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. It detects crank or cam rotation and tells the computer to turn on fuel pump and charges the ignition.
