Hi Brad,
That unit does not have a crank sensor per say the PCM is told where #1 cylinder is by a short air gap in the Distributor that goes by the Stator and that tell the ignition when to fire. I hope this helps you Brad!!!!!

Duraspark Type Plug Wires
The spark plug wires used with the Duraspark type ignition system are
5
/
16
in. (8mm) in diameter to contain the higher output voltage. There are
two types of wires used in this system, and some engines may have both
types installed. It is important to properly identify the type of wire
used for each cylinder before replacements are made.
Both types are blue in color and have silicone
jacketing. The insulation material underneath the jacketing on some
plug wires is a silicone layer separated by glass braid. The plug cable
not incorporating the silicone layer is used where engine temperatures
are cooler and are identified with the letter SE with black printing.
The plug cables with the silicone insulation are used where high engine
temperatures are present. These cables are identified with the letters
SS with white printing.
Each spark plug cable, if original, is
marked with the cylinder number, model year and date of cable
manufacture (quarter and year). Service replacement wires will not have
cylinder numbers, or manufacture date.
On any vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter, never allow the
engine to run for more than 30 seconds with a spark plug wire
disconnected. Unburned fuel in the cylinder may ignite in the converter
as it is exhausted and damage the converter.
When
removing spark plug wires, mark and tag the individual wires. Grasp,
then slowly, twist the insulator back and forth on the spark plug to
free the insulator. Do not pull on the wire directly as it may become
separated from the connector inside the insulator. Special tools are
available which can help ease plug wire removal, and prevent damage to
a cable.
When installing a new set of spark plug wires, replace
the wires one at a time so there will be no confusion. Start by
replacing the longest wire first. Route the wire exactly the same as
the original.

I hope helped (rememer rated this) Good luck.
remove the valve cover bolts. remove the valve cover. scrape off the old gasket material off the cover and the engine. put the new gasket in place and replace the bolts and tighten...dont over tighten.

302 is a 5.0L v8 engine and 4.9 is a 300ci, 6 cylinder. so you may have problem with transmission, exhaust manifold, motor mounts, vacuum lines/hose, radiator, power steering pump, a/c system, and mostly wirings. not to mention there is a computer in those trucks!

Your fuel pump is turning on for that few seconds as the key turns to the on position, if not, the connector to the fuel pump the wires are shorting out, or disconnecting within, the wire, will have to replace wires, to pump, or replace the pump, also, check the relays between the air cleaner box, and, the brake master cyl., black cover with wires coming out the bottom, those relays wires could be breaking down. "try before you buy it's cheaper"
Hope this helps?
