Sounds like the ignition module (TFI module ) is toast. It's located on the side of the distributor.

Pick up a Haynes Manual, not too expensive but tons of info inside.
I checked one I have for a different model Ford, and it explains in detail how to check the module and stator with a test light and a ohm meter.
TFI modules are not too expensive if you go aftermarket. I prefer Ford OEM parts, but aftermarket will work fine.

no it will not run without the tfi did it run like crap before it wouldnt start like sputtring jerking like that and the tfi is a bitch to change if you have the 2.9
