I'm in need of a wiring harness for my 1987 Ranger. It caught fire and burned up most of the wiring.
The wiring harness also includes wiring for the alternator, distributor, and leads over the passenger side fender wall where the solenoid is at.
If anyone has the part # for it or maybe even a link to help me out so i can continue to get working on it to get it back on the road I'd appreciate it.
I've enclosed some pics as well

Thanks!!

Here are two places in Texas that have 2.3 rangers. I looked up wiring harness and did not get any hits, so I looked up a 2.3 engine and these two places have the engines, so hopefully they still have the ranger sitting there and will sell you the harness.

Thank you!
 
87 2.3 is EFI. AFAIK the 2.0 stayed carb. So a very different system. No way the wiring harness would match up.
