Distributor option

Sorry haven't been getting notifications.
Didn't realize I had to watch my own thread.lol

It's all good, I have the same issue and forget about threads I started sometimes. Few weeks/months later someone will quote me in a reply and I'll be like, where did that come from? Oh yeah! I remember now.


So how is the Britian distributor working for you now? Still going good? I should probably see about getting one to put in the shelf for when/if I get my 2.8 back on the road. As far as I know my DS distributor is still in good shape, but if not it might be even more difficult to find one then.

It's been good.i was going to link where I bought mine,but looks like he is currently sold out.sellers name is (simonbbc).
Can't seem to find my purchase info on the carburetor.
When I looked it up I used the suggested carb on the swap info and in the tech article.

AzLizard, which distributor did you purchase from siminbbc? Was it the ford v6 cologne bosch-type? I am wanting to get rid of the computer control on my ranger but can’t find a DS distributed anywhere so I’m chasing down your lead hoping to keep my ranger running.

Simon is very helpful/patient and will answer any questions.
I would verify with him it works in the 2.8 .
