1985 Ford Ranger - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
1985 ford ranger, v6 2.8l, 5speed, came without a carburetor and now i have now idea how to follow the regular vacuume line scematic, please hellp with more details or step by step pictures
Matthew, I assume you have replaced the missing carb with a new one, is it an OEM original? or an after market? It matters what carb you put on because of smog laws and whether or not the carb you bought is smog legal for your truck, if it is not the exact same as the factory original then there wont be a correct vacuum line schematic. If when you do have the correct replacement carb then type in (1985 ford ranger, v6 2.8l vacuum line diagram) in to your google search engine, search under " images" there you will find lots of diagrams of vacuum line routing. If you are not able to do any of this then take the truck to a qualified service tech, there are also mobile service mechanics that can help, good luck to you sir. One final note, you can plug each of the vacuum outlets on the carburetor with the appropriate size vacuum caps, this will allow you to start the engine and make minor adjustments, then you can drive the truck to a qualified tech

What oil for differential
The best is that oil that comes in it from the factory. The book that came with the truck or a good service station can tell.
How to replace my distributer in my V6 Ford Ranger?
The distributor may have been in the correct position to begin with, if you were on the exhaust stroke of #1 at TDC.A square bar...can't imagine that. When you pull a distributor out, nothing is supposed to come out with it except the shaft with the turning gear, or the slotted end of shaft. Does yours have the shaft with the bar that fits into a slot down in the dizzy hole?I can explain how to find the compression stroke of #1, if that's what you need, but post back, and we'll see if we're on the same page, so to speak.
