94 f150 cranks but won't start

Have 94 f150 sb , 4.9l straight 6, dual tanks. 177k miles. After turning soft 90degree corner, motor stalled(not sure if the two are related). While attempting to restart, small amount of smoke (Definate electrical smell) came from the steering column area and the upper left dash where it meets the windshield. Engine cranks strongly, all dash lights and accessories still work. Can hear both fuel pumps working. Haven't check for fuel pressure or spark yet. Have instrument cluster out. Don't SEE any signs of burned wires. Plan on replacing headlight switch and abs clockspring while dash is torn apart. Any suggesstions on what area to start in about wire issue would be greatly appreciated.
