85 Ranger V6 Restoration [Aces EFI time]

Working on cylinder 3 now.

Last cylinder for valve stems, went well. I didnt have the tool i needed to move airbox out the way so cylinder 3 still has old seal on one of the valves. Others are complete. Should be a major improvement, the OG seals were brittle and broken.
Cork valve cover gasket as well.

Ordered blocking plate for EGR

Does anyone happen to know what blocking plate fits the mechanical fuel pump? I want to remove it since it wont/ not being used.

I left my mechanical pump in place. I plan on bypassing it. It's a royal pain to access the bolts on the 2.8L.

Yeah i can tell, just tryna clean up engine bay. The swivel socket helps alot getting to bolts on weird angles.
