I have a 97 ranger with the ford twin I beams. I'm looking to do the radius arm bushings. To do just the bushings I need to support only the underside of the arm? Or do I need to take off more than the crossmemeber bracket and support the radius arm with a jack to get the bushings replaced?

Does each plug have it's own coil? And also it seems to have adjustable ignition timing now?
@vanstechcorral18 күн бұрын
@@LVBeatzMusic The coil is from a Buick 4 cylinder that had two plug outlets to fire two plus simultaneously. That is ok because one firing sequence is on the exhaust stroke, know as wasted spark. I previously had it working with the module firing two separate coils at the same time, one for each plug.

@@vanstechcorral Ok tysm for answering. I am looking to build a dual coil ignition for mine, as I want fully adjustable timing control and or stronger spark. And yes the wasted spark system is used. It can be good, but I want to run a wider gap on my plugs, and I don't want to fry out the stock coil.

@vanstechcorral3 ай бұрын
@@rustedhorsepower5132 I converted to a Hays electronic ignition on my 68 SS396 Chevelle back in 1973 from points. It worked fine with the stock tach. A couple of years later I installed an HEI ignition and that worked too. Later I converted to TBI EFI and that worked as well. I had a CD ignition at one point in the seventies and it also worked. The reason I have a Sun Super Tach in it now, using all those ignitions over time, is only because the Sun is much easier to see due to its large face size. In each case, the tach signal is the - trigger side of the coil that either points or electronic module modulates to produce the high voltage, switching between +12VDC and 0 (ground) which causes the high voltage with the large number of windings to go out the coil wire to the distributor. It doesn't matter whether this is achieved by points opening or closing or by a transistor switching on and off. Hope this helps.
