So I have a 1988 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4-originally an A4LD (still in the truck currently) but I figured while it sits where it's at, Id try and figure out probably the hardest problem which I believe lies in the pedals. After visiting 3 different junkyards and browsing probably daily on classified sites like Craigslist and OfferUp, I finally found a couple on eBay listed for a 1984 - 1988 so I figured I'd give it a go. After looking at the serial numbers, it looks like it came from an '85 and has the outward-style clutch pedal that doesn't seem as if it would line up with the push rod for the clutch master cylinder. I saw on the A4LD to FM146 (what I'm trying to do) and I think we have the same year truck and pedals. He mentioned he had to have his "milled to fit" but I'm not 100% sure as to how he was able to make it work. Anyone here run into the same sort of problems or know any workarounds? I'll probably know a little better tomorrow as to my exact situation as I retrieved my Hydro assembly from the parts truck tonight and I'm sure I'll mess with it a little tomorrow after work.
