A couple of things to look at are which way is the distributer turning?Then check your wires according to that.On a new,tight,motor the starter could be pulling all the amps away from the coil to where it might just have a weak spark.Valves adjusted right?Do you have compression on the cylinders?If the valves are too tight and dont completely shut it will not have enough compression.Also you might have spark plug wires that dont work good on old motors,or gas fouled plugs.Pull the plugs and see if they are wet.If they are wet maybe heat them up with a torch to burn the gas off.I have even lit the cylinders with a match to dry them out,but be careful and dont burn the shop down,maybe try cranking the motor over without the plugs first.All the Fords I ever worked on are kind of bad about gas fouling plugs and flood kinda easy.Pull the air cleaner hose and see if gas runs out,that usually says its flooded.
