The kit all in one place is still worth it. Thanks for the heads up. Not sure what I can do about a condenser as of yet.

Awesome kit in one place. Thank you. Unfortunately, they also do not have the condenser like everywhere else I have looked.

No one seems to make an original condenser anymore. If someone knows of a place it would be much appreciated. I know there are universal condensers that can be bought, but how are people connecting them to to these ford spring fittings ? Do they make fittings ? Bottom line, i need a...

Valve covers off and more inspection. Turn out there is some rust on the original pushrods, not much on the springs, rockers. Thinking maybe the valve head sides had more rust than i can see with the heads still attached. Valve guides and seats could have issues. I want to do it right and once...

Welp. I didnt want to bug the Ranger forum minds, but I am stumped. I have a 1986 ranger extended cab xlt with a 2.9. Towed it from the desert where it sat since 99 lol. Pretty much entirely new now. I didn't feel I was wasting money because I have no plans on getting rid of it. It has a rebuilt...

I recently got a hold of this 1986 Ranger xlt 2wd with a 2.9. Already had a fresh engine and tranny. Everything is pretty much new in the last month from the fuel pumps, regulator, iac, egr, sensors, ecm, new distributor, and all inbetween. It's been sitting in a desert climate since 99. I...

Just popping on to say hello. I have a 1986 ford ranger xlt 2wd with the fun 2.9. :yahoo:
