Could be that the new ignition module is faulty.

The one I ordered from eBay (link in previous comment) had to be cut down too. Ended up reusing the old inner hose and neck, and cut down the new outer hose to fit. The inner was in decent shape, the outer was the cracked one and leaking.

Just looked and it doesn't seem like they have one. I'll try my luck on eBay and hope it's right or at least right enough I can make it fit. Appreciate the help.

Yeah I've seen them several places too, just never know what's actually gonna show up at your doorstep. Broncograveyard has some for an 89 ranger. Do you know if they're the same or close enough?

Cool. You replacing yours too? Where you getting the new one from?

Looking to replace my leaking fuel filler neck, just wanna make sure this is the right one. Thanks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313869138188?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=_koCId5OSOe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Dz59_OnlSW2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I can't find anything about "maxperformance" cylinder heads... Did you mean "promaxx performance" by chance? I got a pair of those for about $500 with valvetrain installed when I cracked a head last year from running it hot (thermostat stuck closed). They fit great and it's been a year with no...

Very interesting Ron... I actually never thought about it that way. I appreciate the help sir.

I disconnected the two heater hoses and didn't mark which one went where... I'm dumb. The one off the water pump goes to which side? One off the intake manifold goes to which side? Thanks.

You can use the newer style heads on an older block just fine. I have an 89 and had to pull the heads about a year ago and, come to find out, had an old style on the passenger side and a new style on the drivers side.

You sure it's 109k? If the last digit is a different color it's 1/10th of a mile. These RBVs had a 5-digit odometer. Truck looks really clean so it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it's only 109k despite the age.

I've never done one but from what I hear it's definitely worth it to swap in a 302 and if you're looking for something a little more involved a 351. Personally if I was gonna do it I'd get an EFI 302. Don't have much love for carbs.

I'd check spark plugs and wires before messing with anything else. It's usually the stupid little things that everybody thinks aren't the problem that turn out to be.

First thing to check is the fuse for the pump. Located in the fuse box under the hood on the passenger side.

Get a giant c-clip and grind it to a ring, should hold up fine. If you're too worried, just jb weld it into the piston groove.
