When my '88 v6 did the same thing (run slow, shake and put out smoke) it was the fuel pressure regulator. The way it was running, I thought I had blown a head gasket.

Yes it did. You might do a search for it on the Ranger and Bronco II forums. There are several threads on it and some that tell how to check it.
