I've got four days to get this truck running or I lose it. Hopefully this counts as urgent.
1983 Ranger
2.3 Liter non turbo
4WD 4-speed manual trans
Ran before HG change. Currently cranks, spat fire out of intake once. Has fuel, compression, and spark.
I changed the headgasket and pulled the ECU. It ran when the headgasket was blown (did a short test run), so I know it runs.
I can't get the timing to get set right. Can someone list out how to get the timing set properly, from scratch? Going by say, the timing belt snapped and I'm putting on a new one on the side of the road or something.
I have a variety of tools at hand, and a timing gun.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I'd prefer not to part with the truck, but it's now or never.
