Trouble locating a part for 2.3
Hello, i'm having a serious issue sourcing a part that should be easy to find. First, let me say that this engine is not actually in a ranger, but it is a ranger engine. Its a 2.3 from after the change that did away with the distributor. In changing the timing belt i discovered the crank position sensor was cracked, figured i would change it. Hovever, the ear it mounts into cracked clean off while i was persuading it to come out. Of course its part of a larger casting that also holds the front crank seal. I have seen this part referenced as the front cover, its only held on with a couple bolts and should be an easy fix.....if i could come up with one. The number cast into is is apparently a design number and utterly useless for looking it up. My usually very helpful contacts at several parts places have drawn a blank and the guy at the local ford industrial engine (it powers a generator) parts house has not responded to my email and its been weeks. This should be a simple enough part to find. Anyone out there perhaps have a part number so i have something to work with, maybe somewhere i can order one. I could just hit the junkyard i suppose but getting the thing off with the engine in a vehical would be entertaining i'm thinking and my time is really lacking due to too many hours at work. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
