Uh-Oh! Choke Thermostat Screws
I seem to have messed up my screws on my 1985 ford ranger. They have a little ball on top and I can't seem to find them anywhere online. I'm new here (literally made an account just now to ask this) so hopefully I posted in the right channel. Help would be much appreciated!

Usually they are riveted on, not adjustable, so someone may have drill the 3 rivets out and install screws, usually self tapping
But they are called Choke Cover Clamp screws if you can find them What size engine in your 1985 Ranger? Always good to include that |

Yes, those are called Choke Cover Clamp screws, if you can find them
Seen in this diagram: https://www.justanswer.com/uploads/s...2_bbl_diag.jpg Upper left Also there are Choke Housing screws, seen just below in diagram I can't see finding these as part of 2.8l carb set Best bet is to pull one out and hit a hardware store, find a nut with same threads then find the screws that are long enough that match the nut, so same threads as in carb body If you are trying to order online not sure what to look for 1985 2.8l should have a Motorcraft 2150 2-barrel carb Try Googling: motorcraft 2150 carburetor parts choke |
