87 ford ranger 2.9L v6 4x4/doesn't start

[redhoss]

I'm looking at a 87 ranger 2.9l V6 4x4. The problem is that it doesn't start. The man that owns it is not sure what it is he thinks it the fuel pump or relay. It turns over but want start. This will be my first truck and I would really like to get it if I can find out what it is. Anybody have any suggestions.

fuel pumps are easy to check. remove fuel line off filter and turn on key. it should come pouring out.

Or spray something into the upper intake plenum and see if it starts that way...
