To set the timing on a 1989 Ford Ranger, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. Use a timing light and connect it to the battery and the number one spark plug wire, then start the engine. Adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree on the timing cover, which is typically around 10 degrees BTDC for the 2.3L engine.

Usually the timing on a Ford Ranger is set as a part of a general tune-up. The price of doing so in included in the price of most tune-ups and it's wise to have it set in the same period of time that you'd get your oil changed in order to retain peak performance.
I have given instructions on how to do a timing belt listed under the topic questioned "How soon should you change the timing belt on a 1989 Ford Ranger 2.3 engine?" You can refer to that. On the 2.3L Ford Timing is adjusted by turning the distributor clockwise and counterclockwise on distributor driven engines and set to 10 degrees BEFORE TOP DEAD CENTER. On later years with the Distributorless Ignition System (DIS) this is not adjustable. The most important thing to remember when doing a timing belt is to make sure the marks on the gears line up with the marks on the cover for both styles of engines.

The ignition timing on the 1984 Ford Ranger is : 2.0 L - 4 cylinder - ( 8 degrees BTDC ) 2.3 L - 4 cylinder engine - ( 6 degrees BTDC ) 2.8 L - V6 engine - ( 10 degrees BTDC ) unless engine compartment sticker shows different
To adjust the timing on a 1999 Ford Ranger 2.5, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the spout connector to set the timing to base. Use a timing light to check the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley against the timing indicator on the engine block. If adjustment is needed, loosen the distributor clamp bolt and rotate the distributor until the timing is set to the specified degree, then retighten the clamp and reconnect the spout connector.
