I would suspect the Ignition Control Module. You can take it out and have it tested at an auto parts store. Another thing to check is to take the distributor cap off and see if you can turn the rotor while it is in place. A lot of times the pin sears for the distributor shaft gear and just needs replacing.

1.NO spark.. try EEC relay and fuses. however.. If you have not confirmed NO SPARK , its more likely fuel supply. EZ to determine this by priming the engine with premium gas.IF it hits off and tries, then replace fuel pump relay or relay module. if NO start or try.. then you may have confirmed your no spark condition or at least identified it as a fuel problem instead.. focus on cheapest first.. fuses, FP relay, collision fuel cut off switch in trunk... good luck.. i just purchased a 95 owned by elderly which has not run for 5 years.. otherwise in amazing condition.. love those old lincolns.. .
