What year is your car??  The older 2.0 engines are a totally different breed with virturally nothing interchangeable.  The later model Ranger 2.0L have many interchangeable parts between them.  WELCOME!!!!

i think it is a 1974 2.3l engine. it looks like it has hydralic lifters on it but could be wrong because this is my first car. I don't have the vin number so i can't search and see what type motor it is.

Early 2.3L had points type ignition.  If you have had your valve cover off to see it had hyd. lifters, did you notice if it had 3 or 4 cam bearings???  If it had 4 it,s a 2300.

Hello Mad Max,
I recieved a PM from you.
I do not know anything about the Electronic dist for the 2.3.
I run a 2.0 and I run a uni-lite dist.

Someone here has the answer. Try posting your question to the group.

Sorry I could not be of more help.
From Pintony
