The engine chapter was likely borrowed from the ranger manual. The haynes manual shows a 4.0L ranger/bII engine electrical schematic, but we all know it's for the Ranger.

FWIW if you can find a 1990 4.0L in a Ranger the 4.0L swap into a 1990 B2 will be a True Plug and Play. A 1991 4.oL is close but there are a couple of plugs they swapped around.
I have a 1990 4.0 Ranger and two '90 BII's....I had a thread earlier trying to decide what to do with them....

One would think... But the Ranger is in such nice condition...No rust, No Dents etc

But, it has a Blown A4LD....

Build the Ranger or Build a BII? I dunno. I decided to do the Ranger, but who knows, I haven't started anything yet.
