Ken, I went over your old posts. Please look at the photo's below and see if yours is the same. The wiring diagram is most likely the right one.
I was away from Ford six for the two years (2009 to 2011) you started work on your X flow Ranchero, so I can see why it has been a battle.
Every X-flow engine has a specfic grocery list, the engines are very specific for model years between 1984, 185 and 1986, so its very important that I get the right block and head casting info. Often, the heads, igntions, carbs and blocks don't match after they've been on sold. Aussie Falcons are major work hourses, and routine maintenance and long layups means head gasket or head replacement due to corrosion.
I searched your 371 posts, and found this info.
Ah its one of XFlow Fairlanes old engine. Cool!
There were no X-flows in 1975. From memory, its carb is 1984.
Yours is a
1985 x-flow. July 1985 XF!
The block reads JG23FA 20290C
From an 85 XF Falcon GL. I expect its got a C1 head.
Block should have at leat 84DA6015AA cast on it to be an 1985 engine. With a neoprene main crank seal.
There are about 9 potential head castings and the chambers were practically machined to suit application; later unleaded ones have provision for a knock sensor, larger valves, and high swirl chambers.
If there's no casting no external casting stamps or raised lettering between 1 and 2 ports, its the first type, the XD Oct 1980 to March 1982
Inside, with the rocker cover off, there are always some kind of generic casting of the form HFx on the flat area above no.5 cylinder.
HF 1 to 5 leaded fuel
HF 6 and 7 are unleaded
On the intake side of the head between 1 and 2 ports there's a casting number C1, C2,C2A, E1, E2, or D
C1A = carbied leaded head.
C2 = carbied unleaded
C2A = carbied unleaded.
E1 = injected leaded.
E2 = injected unleaded.
D= carbied unleaded 1990-1992.
.
Ignition like this?
Fuel pump with bleedback line, and ADM 34 2-bbl carb has specific sensors. Hall effect sensor, MAP sensor, TFI module, coil, and EST are specific to unleaded gasoline 85 models. Long nose spark plugs. Anything not original will cause working problems.
Standard diagram for 2-bbl ADM 34 Weber equiped 4.1 for 1985 is this. The three wires are color coded with Pk/LtBlu on - and both Br/Pk and R/LtGrn on the +.
The coils have to be the right kind for the application.
There were three types of X-flow distibutor.
Type 1. Points. From June 1976 to Otober 1980, Bosch series 61 distributor, same as the Aussie 1971-1975 200 and 250 Log head and 250 2v).
Type 2. Electronic. From Otober 1980 to the advent of the 1985 XF Falcon, it was Electronic Aussie Bosch Duraspark. Vacuum advance ( 2 wires, green is -, red is + ), it has a 4 pin Electronic module under the plastic case on the distributor. All Tpe 1 and Type 2's were for leaded 97 octane gasoline cars.
Its a common GM Holden 2.85/3.3 L6 or 4.2/5.0 V8, Chrysler 2.6 liter Silent Shaft, Aussie Nissan/Toyota item. Check for codes like BIM024, 9222067021, 922067016, 9222067017, 9222067019
Type 3. For November 1984, the 1985 model year XF Falcon had Electronic Spark Timing and a TFI distributor with either an EST or EECIV control box. The TFI has plug with 3 pins, which requires a computer or EST to use. It uses a MAP sensor and the common EECIV test plug. You can run the codes off it like on any 1980 to 1995 US EECIV if the parts are with it.
Alternatively, you can buy a MSD 6AL-2 programmable 6530 ignition system if its the XF TFI type.
Normal US style TFI
If the cap has spark plug tipped caps, its TFI
