Hi Lazy K,
No, I have not checked for codes because I don't have that tool. If I take it ford,they will charge me more than 130.00 to hook it up the diagnostic machine, and who knows what they will charge to replace every other conceivable expensive part before I go broke. For a 24 year old truck with 120,000 miles on it, and not worth very much, All I want to do is to pass the Calif, smog test.

The rotor under the cap only goes on the distrib. rod one way? I was thinking I might have put that in wrong, but the slit where the rotor connects to, there is only one way. I taking a big chance in screwing up the timing belt or worse the more I mis-connect my firing order.

So you think (my) firing order is correct? Another stupid question..Where does this firing order begin? top left, or bottom left? according to the Chilton repair, the top left is 3,then 4,2,1 clockwise. (83-88 Ranger and Bronco II)
