Most likely this is a bad TFI module, when they get hot and start to fail or fail completely they'll prevent the vehicle from starting as you won't have any spark. The TFI module is located on the back of the distributor almost up against the firewall so its not only hard to get to, but its also a very hot location in the engine bay. Some have done remote TFI mounts to correct this problem....here's a link that will tell you how, and its what I finally did on my 88 Bronco 2 as well....https://www.therangerstation.com/how-to/ignition-charging-computers/remote- mounted-tfi-ignition-module/
