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...

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...

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)

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...

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...

Greetings,  In need of some wisdom.  What is the thread size for the threaded port on the top side of the thermostat housing (previously occupied by the emission vacuum tree)?? Previously did the electric fan conversion using a Hayden fan controller, now the fan doesn't come on when expected...

87 B-co, withou eec from factory, c-6 tran. Beginning of the week I backed into the garage and the engine died by itself.  I tried to turn the ignition switch and nothing happened.  The battery light and engine light on the dash are not illuminated when putting the switch into acc.  Radio does...

Hey folks...Just thought I'd share my mini-project.  The spare tire carrier has been removed for a while, and after a fluke flat tire  (on 35" BFG Mud Terrains..seriously :wacko: ) left me stranded, I decided to reinstall it; but not before polishing that baby up.  It was looking worn and...

351w, bored .60, c6 tranny, non-EEC, tons of mods I noticed a little bit of coolant leakage from my radiator recently, so I'm guessing its time to replace the old fella.  I've done a lot of upgrades to the B-Co, I figured the radiator could use an upgrade.  Initial assessment is that it came...

Guys, Adjusting the timing on the B-Co and i adjusted the dizzy to set the total timing @ 30 degrees (engine @ 3k-3.5k rpm), however, that is roughly 18-20 degrees initial timing..Can that be right? The engine runs much smoother.  The vacuum is the highest ive seen around 22-24 psi (measured...

87 B-Co; 351w; mechanical fuel pump; fuel pressure regulator; fuel pressure gauge, edelbrock performer; c6 trans; no eec/computer; Guys, Im having fuel pressure issues that I cant seem to figure out.  I may have mentioned it in other posts, but haven't had luck correcting.  After cruising...

1987 B-Co, 351w, edelbrock 1406, edelbrock performer intake, gibson headers, c6 trans, no EEC (from factory), stock fan w/shroud in place, newish radiator, fairly new fan clutch. (radiator has been recently fully flushed, reflushed, and filled) So, the temperature gauge rises gradually while in...

351w/Duraspark II/no EEC/Carb'd--->Hey guys, me again!  Im learning now, being a Bronco aficionado is like raising a child, but I digress.   So, now..the engine will not start, and by that i mean, the engine does not turn over and the starter does not engage when turning the key. In...

351w carbd, c6 trans, no EEC.  So ive just found out a power wire (14 gauge red/green stripe) is getting hot.  The wire is located in the engine bay, in a loom that ran along the drivers side up to the front of the engine bay.  This wire was connected to a thick brown/pink strip wire, and a...

1987 351w, holley 570 (about to be replaced with edelbrock 600) c6 trans, mechanical fuel pump. I've had a fuel pressure problem for some time, and I can't seem to figure it out. My fuel pressure gauge reads abnormally high around 9-10 psi. I was told It could be my liquid filled fuel gauge...
