Default '87 Dakota will not start

Was driven yesterday and parked last night. This morning it would not start. The engine turned over fine. This afternoon checked and it getting plenty of fuel, battery is strong, the plugs,wires, rotory button and distributer was replaced 6 months ago. Changed out the coil tonight and still no luck. Any suggestions?
