1988 Bronco II ICM

Welcome to TRS 
1988 2.9l engine ICM(ignition control module) is on the side of the distributor, it is called a TFI module, not at all hard to find
You want to match the color, black or grey are the two options, there is a wiring difference, so if yours is grey then you want to replace it with a grey one, same for black
The PCM(engine computer) is a little harder, but refurbished are available
BIIs and Rangers with 2.9l engine used the same PCMs by year
Transmission type is the thing you need to match, manual or automatic
1988-1992 2.9l engines didn't have EGR so not an issue
This PCM is for 1988 2.9l manual trans: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Con...fits-1988-Ranger-2-9L-/163043518463#vi-ilComp
Automatic here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Con...e:Ford&hash=item33d90a3dad:g:PiMAAOSwi~FboMBQ
RWD or 4x4 doesn't matter in 1988
