I just had a fuel issue with my 88. It ended up being something with the selector valve on the frame rail. I just took it apart and put it back together and it worked. I was getting fuel into the valve but nothing coming out.

its getting fuel maybe its spark

if its running on starting fluid it has to be getting some spark.

I would check fuel pressure first if it is running on starting fluid.
