1988 5.0 will not start...

I am out of ideas. The car will try to start when you turn the key but after it kicks over for a second or so it dies. I have pulled a plug and when you turn the key it will spark a hot white spark but only once or twice and then it stops sparking.

I have tried these things:

-Changed the coil. I have put a test light on the hot wire to the coil and it stays hot.
-Changed the ignition module on the distributor twice.
-Changed the Pick up coil in the distributor twice.
-Checked the fuel pressure and it is within specs.
-Changed the ignition switch.
-A MAF conversion was done about a year ago. I checked the installation and they made a few mistakes but it ran for a year. (They didn’t move pin 51 to pin 38 or move pin 11 to pin 32)

I will be back home on Thursday and I will be checking the 10-pin connector. Does anyone know of anything else that would cause the car to not run?

Well, the 10-pin connectors look great. I am at a loss as to why the car will not run. Any ideas?
