  1. Convert fuel pump over to electric from mechanical

    Hello All, My 1988 is a hybrid deal, it's a 2.3l with a Weber 32/36 and a mechanical fuel pump. I'm considering converting to an electric fuel pump. Wondering what folks have used for electric pumps for a carb, which is low pressure, something like 4~~6 psi. If it's outside the fuel tank I would...
  2. 2.3L ('83-'97) Mechanical fuel pump problem ?

    1988 Ranger, 2.3 l transplant. Mechanical fuel pump and aftermarket Weber carb. The pump looks new but it's not pumping, possibly not priming. Gas in the tank, and fuel does siphon through the line up to the pump connection. I took the pump off. The pump lever arm where the cam rubs it only...
  3. 2.3 liter 5-speed gas mileage

    Hello All, Thought I would ask about what kind of gas mileage you all are getting. I have a 1988 Plain Jane standard cab shortbed. 2WD, 5-spd, 2.3l, no power anything. Originally a 2.0l with the electronic carb, but a previous owner put in a 2.3 with a Weber carb. I just measured mileage at...
  4. 1988 shortbed with 275-40x17 tires in rear

    I have a set of the older Mustang SVE Cobra R wheels, two 17x9, two 16x8, tires are 275-40x17 and 245-45x16. I tried the 17's on the rear and they fit pretty good, I was surprised. Have not tried the 16's on the front yet but I think there will be no problem. They are all a tad short in the...

  6. 2.3L ('83-'97) Weber 32/36 DFEV starting point tune for 2.3l

  7. Wanted I need the jack cranking handle

    1988 if that matters, it's stowed by the radiator.
  8. Door locks

    Hello All, My door locks have a different key than the ignition, this is a 1988. I do not know if any of the locks have been changed out over the years, but this is what I have now. So the deal is, I don't have the door key, the previous owner lost it and never locked the truck. Do the door...
