HELP! 1987 ford ranger

Hello everyone i am new to the forums and would really appreciate some feed back!
I have recently purchased a 1987 Ford Ranger 5-speed manual 2.3L. The truck sat for about 4 years with never being driven. I have changed the oil and all the fluids 3 days ago. I replaced the tail pipe and muffler due to an exhaust leak. Anyways, today while i was driving for about an hour (40 miles) i started to hear a loud click under the hood. I had continued to drive being that everything felt fine and just wanted to make it home until the issue could be fixed. After driving another 30 miles I was going around 60mph and all of a sudden the gas pedal wasnt working and slowly i went from 60mph to 0 & being stuck on the side of the road. The engine shut off but the radio was still on. The battery is totally fine and when i try to start it, it almost starts but wont. From what i have been reading it seems like possibly it could be the fuel pump?? If anyone knows or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated!!


Thank you guys.
