Did a 92 Ranger 4.0 swap into my 85 BII. The Ranger is my own and it ran well before I started my project. I installed all the wiring harness from my 92 Ranger into the BII except for the light harness which I kept in the BII. The headlights, turn signals and horn even works. The starter works off the ignition switch. I connected the red/green wires together like in the excellent tech library article. Everything went well until I tried to start it. There is a relay that kicks on and the fuel pump runs for maybe a half second and then everything kicks back off. The fuses in the power distribution box are all good except the one for the alternator is not getting power to it. I ran all of the Ranger harness to the engine and over to the drivers side and retained the BII plugs to splice into. Any help anyone can give me to find the problem would be greatly appreciated. I used an old mechanics trick when I put the engine in. You take some spare stock rims without tires and put them on the front axle lowering the front several inches and making it easier to clear the front radiator support.
