No Star tester needed even if I did use a scan tool it would have been a no code issue as it would be on most all fords of this vintage are even every vehicle to date including a tractor new are old...
OK you nailed #1) Check Spark and #2) fuel pressure and now off track.
I hope you verified spark with a adjustable spark checker are a spark checker made for this ignition system. I hope you did not use your best guess by holding the coil wire close to ground are a screwdriver. We need verifiable information not your best guess. We want to be one and done with #1 a spark check, its the first question that needs a answer. This holds true for a Tractor also.
When someone post I have a no start I have a good battery and cranks normal battery voltage and cranking RPM are normal. I have checked spark its good what do I need to check next is were the wheels fall off and they are lead down the wrong track.
The first question should be How did you check spark, That question needs to be verified ! (Not your best guess)
Second question were did you check for spark. I hope you do this in a order that will confirm the travel path spark takes we want to be once and done and move on.
Answer: Remove the coil wire at the distributor cap install a spark checker if a GO remove a spark plug wire at a spark plug install a spark checker if a go move on.
Next check fuel in this case fuel pressure is normal and fuel quality is good. We have a GO.. This one does throw a curve ball it has dual fuel tanks you can switch tanks to see if its a start after you prime the fuel system. What are the chances both pumps went out at the same time. I say next to none but have seen it happen when the system is that contaminated.
WE have VERIFIED. (not our best guess)
1) battery/battery voltage cranking
2) cranking RPM ( I am going to trust your sense of normal)
3) Spark
4) fuel
All hold true for a tractor next we are moving on to a non related tractor test.
Question: whats the next test, Its not install a scan tool remember this vehicle does not offer a scan data menu to order from we are on our own a hunt we have to gather the information for our-self. Even if we had the latest greatest scan tool we don't need it at this point. Ell we don't even need youtube :).

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones.
