I got a 88 ranger that was a 2.3 and now is a 302 with a t5 but I'm not sure what wires I can get rid of I would like to get rid of all the wire that I don't need if someone know of a real good wiring diagram to help me out were I can get to stripping all the wire out that I don't need

 

Get ahold of the factory wiring book for your year Ranger. They come up on Ebay. They are the best. In most cases, you can "piece" one together by searching the interweb and looking for certain sections of it (i.e. search on "cluster wiring", and you will find that someone posted a picture of that portion of the factory wiring). You may get lucky and find that someone posted the entire factory wiring on some site.
