Me and my dad just did a swap in his 98 ranger 4.0. We put a 4.0 out of a 2000. We are having a little trouble with the syncro. The one on the 2000 has 2 wires to the plug and the harness in the truck has 3. 2 of them match up but there's a black with a yellow stripe left. Is there a way to eliminate the black and if so how? And is there a good way to line the syncro up exactly once at TDC? Any help would be great

 

Any help would be great

 

You'll probably fare better by swapping in the original synchro.

This thread discusses the various ways in which you can install a Ford CMP synchronizer assembly, it's a little long but full of information:
