I have a 2.3 torn apart from an 88 ranger and bought a felpro gasket set from advance auto and noticed the correct lower intake to head gasket was not there but there was one for the 89 up style 8 plug head.So I took it back to advance only to have them say that is the correct gasket lol.So next I contacted felpro with the issue only to have them say the same thing.I have built many 2.3s and one thing I know is the 85 to 88s had the D port head and the 2.3 mustangs used the same head through 1990.The funny thing about the gasket set is its specifically labeled for an 88 ranger with a 2.3 and so were the ones I bought years ago which had the correct D port gasket so don't know when felpro started screwing up but anyone buying the gasket set (part # HS8993PT4) for there 88 ranger will have the same issue.Felpro acted like I was the first one to mention this which is very hard to believe.I wasn't going to argue with them as they thought I was crazy but anyone buying this set needs to be aware of this screw up.The correct D port ranger/mustang gasket is in set MS902661.
