Me again.

Something else I just thought of...  the distributor with the TFI IV
module and the harness with the SPOUT connector.  Very important parts. 
MAP/MAF, TPS, ECT all play parts in advance curves.  The pickup inside
the distributor is also nesc. for the PCM.  It sends a cranck signal to
the PCM.  Without it:  no tach input, no injector pulse width output,
etc.

Reccomendation:  check into a later model ford EEC IV engine management
system that has a data stream.  That way you can watch values and
diagnose problems with a conventional scanner.  Ford was late to jump
this band wagon and it is a real shame.  However, since I am Factory
Ford trained, I understand how to diagnose problems in these systems and
therefore have job security at my full time technical job.

Talk to you later.
