To install the distributor in a 2000 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 engine, first disconnect the negative battery cable and remove any components obstructing access to the distributor. Align the engine to top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one, then remove the old distributor and carefully note the rotor's position. Install the new distributor, ensuring the rotor aligns with the same position as the old one, and secure it in place. Finally, reconnect any removed components and the battery cable.
Typical: Remove distributor. Use punch to tap roll pin from gear at base of distributor. Use an arbor press (not a hammer) to press distributor mainshaft out of gear. Shaft will then easily come free of the distributor. If a hammer is used, now replace the complete distributor. Unbolt the pickup and replace. Reinstall shaft and gear being sure that gear hole aligns with shaft hole. Install a new roll pin. Install in vehicle. Set ignition timing.
If it has a distributor it doesnt have a crank position sensor. The magnetic pickup in the distributor is what you would be looking for. The module is either on the side of the distributor or on the firewall against the drivers inner fender.
