I ended up picking up a set of Torx Plus bits as none of the Allen keys fit right. Thanks everyone!

Thank you all, I will try that today.

It's like it's an in between size. My Torx bits are either too big or too small. I tried to do a Google search but didn't dee anything in a cursory scan, that's why I posted here as there are more knowledgeable folks on this site.

I am disassembling the dash on my 1987 Ranger and I am removing the harnesses on the steering column (so I can remove the steering shaft to pull the cab off the frame), but I am not finding a torx bit size in my set to remove the main ignition harness, anyone know what gives?

Are they the same configuration? I found this quote "2.0 is an underbored 2.3, with the exception of the bore the blocks are identical to all 2.3" Can I use a header from a 2.3 on my 2.0? Sorry, newbie question I'm sure, but I have to ask.

So is mine. Thank you for answering. I might have to bite the bullet and get a repro. I am looking for other items too. I just got this 87 and have the big to fix it up

The plate that blocks off where a mechanical fuel pump would mount on a 2.0L.

Do you still have the dash pad?

Thanks guys! Already used the Tannerite on an old console TV, so the others I will try.

In trying to remove the T55 bed bolts, 2 clips have broken. I shot them from below with Bolt Buster and let the set for a while before attempting to remove. Any one have a solution for removal? Thanks!

Thanks Dirtman!

I think you're right. I need to figure out what engined will bolt up to that 4 speed OD trans and pick one up.

Dirtman, I have the 87 Ranger that the previous owner tried to put the 2.0 carb on a EFI motor. I found an 87 with EFI at a local salvage yard. What components would I need to get to put this motor back to EFI? Remember this is originally a carb 2.0 truck.

I have a cylindrical coil.

RonD here on TRS said that the ballast went away in the 70s. But you own an 87 and can confirm it has one? Thanks for the help.
