1984 ford ranger 4x4 2.8v6 spark issues

[just another 80s ranger]

i have a 1984 ford ranger with a 2.8 v6, i have been trying to resuscitate the thing, it ran good until i had starter issues i replaced the starter and fixed the guages not working but when i went to start it it turned over and nothing, i assume it had no spark, check and i was right i deducted it was a bad coil, s i went ahead and replaced it, but still nothing happened. now I'm thinking it has something to do with the distributor and the TFI module, or some wire that decided to go out, i check and 2 of the pins have constant power when its in on position and another has power when cranking.


if someone has some info about common issues, ore could help me with some tips or a cheep 2 wire distributor so i can just delete the hole rat nest of wires and and vacuum lines. pls help
