I did not finish painting it because I found a 96 with exact same color front clip in near perfect shape...then I swapped the wedgewood blue interior out for a complete 2001 mountaineer dark grey leather setup and put her on some 2011 Ranger wheel's and  front and rear 4.10 diffs to turn the 33" tires.
I never drove her anymore because I have too many trucks, so I decided to sell the ol 96 and buy snow tracks for my rzr xp1k


The distributor is because they use the earlier EFI F150/Mustang wiring harness and ignition, etc OBD-I or EEC-IV

WEAK SAUCE
I/We  prefer OBD-II with MAS and DIS way more powerful, efficient and tuner friendly
The Gt40 full roller Explorer 302 is the best of the best with its high volume oil pump, high volume water pump, short front serpentine dress, 135 amp alternator, metal power steering pump, coil pack ignition and gt40 heads and intakes. 
It has stamped rockers (1.6) and a weak camshaft as well as the restrictive exhaust manifolds
Deal with those deficiencies, ditch the awd and you have yourself a monster of an explorer the way Ford should have produced them














1996 was a GOOOD year for the Ex
I may have an exhaust clip somewhere, it was pretty mean sounding that is for sure
