OK, so you have spark. That rules out that part of the equation. How's the fuel pressure? I think the 2.9 in '86 was fuel injected. Is that the case? If carbureted, will it run on starting fluid? Have you checked for a plugged fuel filter?
That's where I'd go. I'm sure the BM, SS and JW may have other ideas.

fuel pressure is fine, i made a slight error, i meant to write i am not getting spark from the coil. i put the coil in my other ranger and it works, replaced the dist cap already as well. seriously running out of idea's. even hooked up unit for codes and it registers as all clear.

Check the electrical connection to the coil. It is very common for these connections to fail.
