It is nothing more than a wire wrapped magnet that picks up a pulse every time the metal passes it, there is a plate mounted behind the damper with 4 prongs on it that set the timing. If that is bad there will not be a trigger pulse sent to the module to fire off the coil. Since you replaced the top end parts, you have eliminated another cause of no spark, that is the module inside the distributer that the module on the side plugs into.
Note, some cars have this, some dont. Some use the stator and pickup inside the distributer, some use the CPS, some use both. Another thing to do is check for codes, you can pickup a scan tool for the old fords dirt cheap. You count the pulses and pauses to read the code, or you can jumper the connector and read the check engine light the same way, but I dont remember the jumper points.
