Hi everyone,
This is Dan in Portland, Or
New owner 91 Ranger. Had front end damage, first time I opened the hood I noticed it was a 4 cly. after getting the damaged parts out of the way I noticed it had 8 spark plugs ?
I have done some investigating have found out it is a 2.3 liter w/ohc.
But not way it has 8 plugs.
So why doe's it have 8 plugs?
Then I saw a picture of an older 2.3 I think from the late 70s or 80s. it had a real distributor and a carburetor.
I started thinking if you took all the new fancy stuff off down to the bare engine, would I find a port for a distributor? Could I put a carburetor on it ?
i have a 1962 ford pick up with a 292/ 8 cly. I under stand it.
Is there somewhere to get the history of 2.3 engine ?
Or exploded views. I am so confused ???
I like to understand what I have and how it works, So I can repair it when needed.
Thanks for or time and any information..
