I am re-installing a new transmission into my truck, and I noticed the bolts I had layed out for re-installation were moved and all jumbled up. Given that there are 4 long bolts, 2 medium, and 2 short bolts, what position would the bolts go back into the transmission? Thanks!

So I bought a 88 STX 2.9 with the 5 speed, this is my first truck I've had no issues till now. Now I've got a crazy misfire and I can't seem to find it, I've done plugs wires but its still missing. When it misses there seems to be large gaps between firing and looses power. I fixed a few vacuum...

Hey you good folks! Finally got my Ranger put back together and fluids in. Cranks but no spark and no start. It is an 88 block in an 89 body/bay. We switched over the crankshaft position sensor from the ‘89 and added it to the ‘88 block, we’re not using the 88’s distributor. The sensor’s...
