How long did you let it turn over? Might take a few as well as some extra pumps. You can always just take the air cleaner off and pour some gas down the throat and then fire it up too. use a cup so you dont get it everywhere ;D There are a few quirks but not too bad, you have already dealt with one of the electrical issues that can come up.

Got to work on the Bronco agian for a while, have family visiting. So there is not that much time for the Bronco. Still will not start, even with the starting fluid. So I thought the engine was not getting spark. Pulled a spark plug and checked for spark and their was none. Then checked the coilf or spark and nothing as well. What could be causing the loss of spark? Did I burn up the coil? The Starter is fine and is cranking the engine nicely. Wouldn't the starter have fried before the coil?

Well I am going to take a few guesses, really think I need to do a service call though, LOL.

If your fusable link was bad, it burned up for a reason. My assumption would be that whatever it was supplying power to is faulty. If would be the first place I looked anyway.

Have been going through the rest of the electrical system. I am still not getting any spark to the coil. Could the ignition control module be the culperate? How do I check the control module? I have the original Bronco setup Dura-spark I. That came on the 77.

Check the "I" wire on the solenoid, since your were monkeying around with that last.
Is it connected?
Does the "I" terminal have battery voltage while cranking?
