doesn't want to restart

Here's my problem, I'm working on my brothers 88 F150 300, 4speed, 4wd. This is a "well used" truck It runs great tons of power but when you go to restart it after running it cranks over normally but doesn't fire. If you hold the acc pedal to the floor it will eventually take and send out a huge cloud of smoke. Any ideas??

78 Bronco Custom 4wd 400 C-6 3.50's 31 10.5 15's

Sounds like a bad MAP sensor.
