Still having trouble with my 1987 ranger.

My 1987 2.9L Ranger 4X4 quit running the other night. I was going 55 mph and
it just died. I did not have any spark so I changed out the ignition module.
Nothing changed and I still do not have any spark. Any ideas? Several people
mentioned the timing belt but I don't think that would have any bearing on
not having any spark. Any help is appreciated.

Your 2.9 doesn't have a timing belt. It isn't likely that the timing chain
just up and broke, so you're on the right track looking for an ignition
problem.

I got a cheapo code puller from Autozone for around $30 and it is pretty
easy to use. It runs a bunch of checks on the system and might help you
figure
this out.
Sorry I can't offer you more help.
