I just purchases an 89 Eddie Bauer with the 5.8 in it and started to get it road worthy. My issue is that I want to restore it back to original as much as possible and don't know where to start. I have truck that runs and moves (very well) but I have no exhaust system from the headers back.

Was it a dual or single exhaust?

Does anybody have a more accurate wiring diagram than the one in the Haynes manuals?

What other vehicles have interchangeable parts for my Bronco as well?

Thanks for the help.

History, 78-96 Bronco; Ford Truckin' Magazine; 1997 winter issue Source: by Trent R;
87-91, In 1987, the body and drivetrain of the fullsize Bronco changed, as it was still based on the F-Series. The new aero body style reflected a larger redesign of many Ford vehicles for the new model year.
The body was restyled and featured a more aerodynamic look and Euro-style headlamps."
"
In 1988 Ford again made significant upgrades to the Bronco. New was the M5OD and M5OD-HD manual transmissions. These transmissions featured a .80:1 overdrive and the HD option sported a 5.72:1 first gear. Multi-Port fuel injection (MPI) was added to the 351 cid V-8 engine for 1988. This new motor increased horsepower from 190 at 3,800rpm to 210 at 3,800rpm. The torque was increased from 295 foot pounds at 2,600rpm to 315 foot pounds at 2,800rpm. The introduction of fuel injection also marked the entire motor lineup going to a serpentine belt system. For 1988 the transfer case skid plate was made standard.
●The only major change in the Bronco for 1989 was the mid-year standardization for the automatic locking hub. Tip/slide front seats were also added as standard equipment to facilitate rear passenger entry.
▪︎EEC IV aka electronic control assembly, computer was changed when Ford went from two-digit to three-digit EEC IV Self-Test codes in 1991 to service the increasing number of service codes required to support various government On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) regulations.

For a good overview of parts Interchangeability, see Jeff's Bronco Graveyard @ 1980-96 Ford Truck/Bronco-Broncograveyard.com
For example, Click on FUEL SYSTEMS BRONCO;
"Two electric pumps are used on 87-89 Fuel Injected Engines; a low pressure boost pump mounted in the fuel tank and a high pressure pump mounted on the vehicle frame. The low pressure pump is used to provide pressurized fuel to the inlet of the high pressure pump and helps prevent noise and heating problems. The externally mounted high pressure pump is capable of supplying 15.9 gallons of fuel an hour. System pressure is controlled by a pressure regulator mounted on the engine.
90-96 Broncos employ a single, high pressure pump which is part of the modular, In-Tank Reservoir (ITR) assembly."

87 to Early 88 were built for some dumb reason with ****** Style (Top Hat) Hubs that are different than those in other Broncos; "...This was another of Ford's "better ideas". For 87 and early 88 Ford used a one-piece locking hub assembly. This hub simply sits between the wheel and brake rotor and is held in place by the wheel studs. This type of hub is very easy to remove (simply remove the wheel), but it is different from all other Broncos and therefore parts and replacement hubs are expensive and hard to find.

Automatic Transmissions:
C6 3 speed in 78-89 Bronco (from memory, it was installed in 5.8s in later years while 5.0 & 4.9 got the AOD
AOD with overdrive in 85-89 Bronco
E4ODwith overdrive installed in 90 - 96 Broncos
