Ok... so I haven't really had time or money to piddle around with the Bronco since before Christmas (which was also when I had back surgery... main reason for not messing with it) Today I put a new battery cable on it and put a new bolt in the power steering pump to hold it tight, put some gas...

So the ignition coil I had on my truck had a single wire that led up to what appeared to be a resistor or something mounted on top of the coil... the wire broke, so I just removed it. Now with all the problems this engine has in the first place, I can't tell if something else has gone wrong or...

Just a question right now... but several people have mentioned that it might be easier to get a new wiring harness than chasing down all the little problems with my Bronco's electrical problems Where do I get a harness and what do I look for? How hard are they to install? How do I get one that...

I was trying to start the Bronco last night... and after it wouldn't start, I thought the battery was low, even though it was a new battery. Hooked a charger to it, and it says FULL. Headlights wont work, nothing... I've had these symptoms before... starter solenoid on the inner passenger...

I just saw this one on the web... wish I could find more details on it other than just a pic ***Fixed image****

Ok.. this might be stupid to even ask. I know the Broncos run 31's... but there are a lot of tires out there that I dont understand the measurements of, like 270's, 285's, etc. What size would be close to the 31's or equivalent... just trying to scope out my tire size options.

I was trying to think of the reasons the hesitation was happening when I accelerated. I first thought vacuum leak. I dont think that so much anymore. Then I was thinking distributor, which it could be, but I have a good vacuum advance now. Then I got to thinking... fuel pump. If I am thinking...

Where do I find the color code for my original paint?

Went for a little drive in some of the fields behind my house when I spotted a totally undisturbed mudhole. Now since I haven't tested out the 4 wheel drive on the truck yet, I thought to myself, that this was the PERFECT opportunity... a drivers side window might have kept me a *little*...

Is the 351 engine from a 1981 Econoline 3/4 ton van the same as a 351 in the bronco (the VIN has the G code and under the hood is says 5.8L (W)) I know some parts are different...but they are about to junk this van for little to nothing and I know it 'ran' when it was parked... not sure what...

How hard would it be to rip out the original dash gauge cluster and put in a sheet of aluminum or stainless steel with aftermarket gauges, with everything that was there, PLUS a tachometer. Right now the dash lights don't work and I dont know if it is the wiring at the cluster or on the...

Ok, so I figured while I didn't have much to spend on the Bronco right now, and waiting on my EVTM to arrive, I would install a tow hitch to the front bumper that I had already. Got it installed, then started wondering - Am I hurting anything by towing the Bronco if the key is on (so the...

Doesn't look too bad. Was a little heavier than I thought, and lots of trapped dust. The stupid luggage racks that some idiot put on there were a pain. I am going to have to grind some bolts out and patch holes in the top and in the metal roof part above the drivers seat.... Gave 'er a good...

Can you replace the DuraSpark module with something like an MSD ignition module, or even some type of better distributor? I've seen something called an HEI distibutor, does that work with the Duraspark or replace it?

As I was doing some checking on my fuse block, I found one that was empty so I popped a fuse in it and all of a sudden the heater blower came on. Thats good, at least I know it works now, but apparently the levers that control the A/C and vent and all that good stuff doesn't work, because it...

Is my Bronco (82 w/ 351) supposed to have 3 seperate V-belts? I looked in the Chiltons, but couldn't find a routing picture.

I am looking through the catalogs (J.B.G., LMC) and notice that I can't find a seat rebuild kit for my front split-bench seat (no headrests) I would like to do this myself, but it needs new padding and definitely a new cover, preferably vinyl so I dont have to worry when the top is off. Should...

Ok, so I've been sitting and staring at a vacuum diagram for my 351 for about the last hour... and I dont think I am any closer to figuring out these hoses than I was before I opened the Chiltons book... first problem is that it jumps from a 1981 351 to a 1983... so I just looked at the 81 model...

How do you time the engine with the Duraspark II module, according to my Chilton's book it says if the timing is off you have to replace the ignition module???? I've got a timing light as a loaner for a day or two, so I hope I can get the tranny pan back on and fluid in it so I can start the...

Ok... I know that all VIN numbers have letters in certain spots that designate options on a vehicle... does any one here know how to decipher them?
