5.0 V8 No start when cold

Like much of the North Eastern US, we've had some ~relatively cold temps here in Pittsburgh lately. I kind of enjoy it, but my '91 5.0 745 won't start when it is below 25*F or so. The battery is new, the starter cranks, it doesn't seem to be getting spark. I figure that there is some connection that has contracted just enough, then as it warms up a bit, makes contact. On the few (so far) days above freezing, it will start on the first turn of the key. A friend suggested possibly the ignition module, or plug wires. I thought I'd ask you guys, maybe someone has a BTDT.

Thanks,
Andy Schor
