Need Help W/Carburetor Issues

Hello all! I recently came into a 1988 Ranger with the 2.0L Engine. Bog standard everything so nothing fancy. The old carb was leaking pretty bad so I decided I would rebuild it but when I got the kit for the truck I discovered the truck had a completely different carb in it. So I ordered a new carb from National Carburetors and the one the sent me says it is the right part but definitely doesn’t fit. I’m looking for help on what my issue here is as it’s obvious someone had modified the engine in the past Bottom of New Carb

The old carb part number tag does not pull up anything that looks remotely like it so I am at a loss there as well. The part number for the Upper manifold is: C8EE-9245-AA but I can't find anything there either.

This might help. I'm on a computer and browsed around, and found something for D52E DB. Maybe you were thinking those D's were O's. I did but this popped up anyway.

Rockauto shows it as a 1975 Mercury Bobcat/Ford Pinto carb.

Might want to verify what engine you have in your Ranger. Who knows what people will do. Good luck.
