Default 302 has no spark...

i have a 95 F150 4x4 with a 302 engine and 290,XXX miles on it. it quit on me today but i highly doubt the mileage is much of a factor. the truck quit after i buried the front end in a deep mudhole, got out, then it stuttered and quit on my way home. at first, i thought it was the airfilter being wet (k&n) but it was not. i checked for spark and bingo, no spark.

the truck has accel electronic ignition and coil, and the distributor cap and rotor are fairly new (it was wet inside when i checked, but is dry now). im currently letting it sit overnight to see if it just needs to dry out.

aside from crossing my fingers in the morning, any suggestions for fixing this problem?

Got to love those gremlins. I would obviously disconnet the igniton box, and try to go back to the stock setup, eliminate the box basically, and make sure that isnt it.

Stop driving throuh mudholes lol. Sorry man had to do it. I have drove my fair share of trucks through some mud lol. But what ^^^ he said start with that aftermarket box. Those things don't like to get wet.
