    78 bronco 351m

    Cool beans my blood brother! I've done give 2 of them hard headed boys a ride in my Ford this season, so far! I used the ol' Featherweight 70 30-06 this year and gave the Remington 7mag some killin' time off . Didn't see anything close 'nuff to my 70pound Bear to send an Easton FMJ through, so...

    gauge backlights

    IF I'm not mistaken all of those lights are powered through the headlight/panel dimmer switch which is a rheostat type of switch. You COULD possibly have issues within the switch itself if the headlights/runnin' lights all work through the light switch but NOT the dash panel. YA follow me? If...

    4bbl intake and carb

    Well in that case....Bonappe'tit!! Let 'er eat!! BTW, did you already try the kickdown hardware and verify that it won't work? Just askin'. Any carb intended for life on a Ford W/automatic should have the linkage in place already. As far as the EGR block off on the Edelbrock- have you dealt...

    Axle oil seal and bearing install on 9 inch

    http://classicbroncos.com/rear_axle_removal.shtml I found this here link by simply typing in "Ford 9" axle removal" into my bing search box. I realize it aint showin' the actual "bearing" removal but unless you have a press, plates and fixtures at home-it's easier on your patience to just...

    75 high boy transmission, engine, axles, and suspension under a 79 bro

    First of all "Thank you very much for your service to our great Country" and thanks to your wife and family for their commitment to your deployment as well! As for your question about a 390"FE" swap and suspension exchange and all, wait! Fords' FE motors are pretty stout torque motors due to...

    Options for a 460 donor?

    Yep...like Budster said- they're just locator dowels that make sure the crank and torque converter centerlines are properly aligned. Simply grab the dowel in the transmission and twist it as you pull it out. Then transfer it to the other side of the motor and sand it back smooth if you marred it...

    Looking at buying a 79 bronco

    First off let me say that I hope your purchase went well, and welcome to the Bronco Brotherhood! As for motors. Big blocks are a common retro-fit in these trucks! Just be careful IF you "search this site" for info on the matter! I've been on here a relatively short time and have noticed some...

    4bbl intake and carb

    Man..., California...and messin' with "catalyst" stuff? Check out the intake for some kind of exhaust gas cross over- or other means to mount an E.G.R. valve on it! Just sayin'- Cali seems to be known for hatin' engine mods OF ANY KIND! I can't recall right off hand if the Edlebrock Performer in...

    78 seat brackets

    You can also look around for some of the '73 through '96 SuperCabs with bucket seats. They may not have "EXACTLY" the same bracketry, meaning the seat bottom may slide forward while the seat back leans up- instead of how the entire seat bottom of the '78 & '79's pop up and forward. Either...

    ford 400m build

    750 is a little big on the carb size. I'd go a little smaller in that category, and definately a vacuum secondary. Weiand has the biggest intake runners out there: that'll hurt your bottom end numbers. Edelbrock and Holley make intakes with smaller runners that'll help with the velocity down low...

    misfire nightmare

    I think I'd pull the cap and try to wiggle the distributor shaft. Sounds like you could have a worn out shaft bushing or even crud on the Hall effect.(ignition module inside the distributor)

    Front brakes apply by themselves

    It would be interesting to know if the brakes do their lockin' up thing after criusin' at speed then abruptly lettin' off of the throttle. Quick application of manifold vacuum could play with a booster that's goin' bad. I've seen brake lines act like what Seabronc was sayin', only different. It...

    New paint job

    I took my '94 to a local shop in town who are known for good work. They quoted me $2500 for a complete repaint done right. That is remove ALL rubber and trim then sand off clear coat, repair whatever rough spots & reweld the little crow foot cracks the '80 through '96's get at the top corner...

    22 august 2009 The Nigthmare begins.

    Push it towards the dash. I would grab down more to the middle of the shaft to push it though. I over explained myself with my old 80 model turn signal and snapped it of at the switch! Sometimes it helps to take your right hand and gently wiggle the steerin' wheel up and down a little while you...

    Any clubs or trails in North Texas

    Take Interstate 30 East out of Dallas. Once you clear Rockwall you need to start lookin' for FM1565 South, in Royse City. You can actually go all the way down to FM1565 North and make a sharp turn back on your right, to head back west on the south service rd. till you get back to FM1565 South...

    Better Ideas By Ford

    I couldn't read the article because Ford Muscle has shut down the page. I'm guessin' Ford's tryin' to do what Monsanto has done to farmers who have neighbors that used Monsanto Soy Bean seed at some point. Monsanto asserts that they sold the seed to Mr. Farmer Here, with the explicit contractual...
