After searching a bit more online, I came across another owner that had a similar issue, with a slightly older model than my rig. For that owner, the issue was the plug/wiring to the alternator/voltage regulator (VR). So, I unplugged and re-plugged the connector to the VR, which is mounted to...

Thanks for responding Shade. The warning light is only strobing when I first start the engine when the choke is on and RPMs are increased. Once the engine warms up and the RPMs drop to normal, the battery light is no longer strobing or on. With the engine warmed, and under load, again, the...

Thank you for the feedback L/B. I checked the voltage as you suggested; there was some minor fluctuations, but nothing out of the ordinary, and the fluctuations did not occur with the pattern of the pulsing. The ground points are good and secure. I will look to testing the voltage regulator...

1987 B-Co; 351w; Carb'd, C-6 Trans; Non-EEC from factory; 3G alternator upgrade I've recently noticed some weird electrical issues with my rig. First, when cranking cold and the electric choke on (above idle RPMs), the battery light is flashing, approx. 1 flash/second. When I open the door...

I have the original hood and original lifts/springs installed; and it’s time to replace the lifts/springs. I don’t, need struts, however, If there is a strut kit available to replace the lifts/springs, I’d consider the swap

1987 B-Co; 351W; C6 Howdy folks. Has anyone here successfully installed hood struts/hydraulic lifts on their rig? I need to replace the lifts on my B-Co and thought this might be a cool add. Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. B-Co Kid

Hey folks, I've done the electric fan upgrade (https://www.broncozone.com/threads/gradually-rising-temperature.24407/post-128016); a reminder to give a BIG thank you to Seabronc and to everyone who contributed to my cause. Well, the Hayden electric fan controller has failed, and I plan to...

87 B-Co; 351w (bored .60); C6 Trans; Holley 570 4bbl In need of guidance from the carb folks.  I have a digital air/fuel ratio meter with the sensor connected at the tailpipe for readings.  At WOT, air/fuel is spot on at 12:1, under moderate acceleration, air/fuel is ok at15:1, but at cruise...

Thanks for the info miesk.

87 B-Co; Holley 570; Mechanical fuel pump; C6 Trans; No EEC from factory. Coming from the fuel pressure regulator to the carb, is there any advantage/disadvantage to running a dual line to dual inlets on the carb vs. single line to dual inlets on the carb(see photo)

It's a mechanical fuel pump which is why it doesn't make sense.  The fuel pressure gauge is a mechanical Holley non-liquid filled gauge.  It is installed on a threaded port on the carb inlet fuel line; 

351W; C6; Carb'd; no EEC/ECU from factory; all emissions stuff deleted; bored over .60;  The fuel pressure I get on the gauge just before the carb is sporadic.  When warming up, and at times after the engine has already warmed, the fuel pressure gauge flickers between 6-9 psi, and sometimes...

5.8L/351W; C6 Trans; Edelbrock 650 Carb;  Finally got the cooling system in check, and when trying to start'er up after sitting for about a year, the carb is leaking from the top and I'm not sure why.  Never had an issue with the carb when driving before the downtime.  When cranking, the carb...

5.8L; C6; Heavy duty radiator. found out the adapter is 1/4 NPT x 5/16 inverted flare.  However, using the OEM adapter with aftermarket hardline purchased from the auto parts store didn’t work; the OEM adapter is deep, and the thread length on 5/16 inverted flare tube nut is not long enough to...

Hello folks,  I need verification of the female and male thread size for the adapter that screws into the transmission cooler built into the radiator.  The adapter is what the metal line from the trans to the radiator connects to as well as the metal line that runs from the radiator to the...

87 B-Co; Carb'd; C-6 Trans; 3" Body Lift With the 3" Body lift, I have a lot of wiggle room when doing any type of service to my rig.  With that said, am I able to change the oil pan/gasket without having to do a engine removal?  Would unbolting the motor mounts and jacking the engine up give...

1987 B-Co ; 5.8L/351W; C6 Just replaced the trans pan;  What type of transmission fluid should I use when re-filling?  I see a lot of conflicting posts in different Ford forums, so I want to make sure I’m refilling with the correct ATF.    The transmission dipstick indicates use of Dexron II...
