Re: 1996 Ranger 2.3 Engine Swap
Hi Greg,
You'll do much better if you use the intake, the sub harness, power steering / AC mount, and any sensors from the '96 engine. The engine is a drop in, but there are "minor" changes, but...

Good ideas, I'll check the timing, but I do not recall seeing any kind of CAS, or distributor that can be adjusted. If the timing is off, how can it be corrected?

Re: "99 mid year head gasket change.
Thanks. That makes more sense than 2 different head gaskets. I'm not doing the stem seals, so getting the correct size isn't a problem. I just didn't want to find I had ordered the wrong head gaskets.

Re: 99 ranger revs to 3k and idles there for no reason
Off hand I'd say you still have a bad ICM, or the ECM is receiving false information, and is responding by raising the idle to compensate. IE. temp sensor is telling the ECM the engine is cold, ECM...
