Cap, rotor, wires and battery. I'd guess it's the cap. I'd think it'd make noise if it was 180 off, or if one or two wires are bad; but if the rotor to cap distance is too long it wouldn't do anything.
Did he keep all the parts, so one can eyeball them?

Replace it with a slant six and be done with it.

Certainly some truth of that vintage Ford, but in this case FORD = Found On Road Dead…
We had a 1998 Continental, only wrenching was for outer tie rod ends, and struts in 135,000 miles. Oh, a set of plugs at 100K, front brake pads, and a new battery one month before it got traded for a 07 Nitro…
Ford is making a lot of good product these days._________________ 67' Dart GT Convertible; the old Chrysler Corp.
