    Rattles are GONE!!!

    Just finished up a test drive and wanted to let everyone know that I finally killed all of the rattles in Bella..... Last one was a bit of a challenge to find... The actuator arms on the tailgate mechanism were hitting the metal of the tailgate... Got some foam pipe insulation and pulled the...

    1973 gauge fuse keeps blowing

    Put an Ohmmeter on it and it looks to be open, and I put a new fuse in and pulled voltage off of both sides and I had 12.1V on both poles, so I am guessing that it is blown. I will run to Toms on Monday and get a new one, hopefully that is my issue. I HATE ELECTRICAL ISSUES!!!

    1973 gauge fuse keeps blowing

    Hey guys... Everything has been good with the bronco for quite some time. I did the EZ wiring harness when I did the build in 2014 and all electrical has been perfect. Now, I recently rebuilt the heater box and reinstalled into the bronco, and also put a Rampage top on it. Wanting to use it...

    Idles great, bogs down on acceleration

    Yeah I think I just need to retune the whole carb.  I was running SOOO stinking good!!!  I was even letting the kids drive it to school...   I will just put is a new rebuild kit, I am sure even a slight vacuum leak in either one of them will cause me huge issues....

    Idles great, bogs down on acceleration

    it bogs down even on light acceleration, just in neutral if I give it a quick throttle is bogs almost like it is choking itself out.  I have a manual choke and it's open....  I may just put another rebuild kit in the carb and see if that helps.   Timing is steady, steady at idle and while...

    1/2 cab bikini

    welcome...  Great ride....  I like Bully's idea about a aluminum "rib".  You could run some webbing from window frame, around the "rib" then towards the back.  It would keep the rib from sliding forward or back.

    BC Bronco Top

    Any one out there have the BC Bronco rigid "safari" top?  I really like the looks of them and the rigidity of the welded frame. Didn't know if anyone has one and what you thought of it?

    EB purchase inspection/advice

    That is HORRIBLE.....  Send me his number and I will buy it and take it out of your options!!!   :))   Looks like a very clean rig.  Obvious body lift and suspension work.  How does it steer and stop???  Looks like there is an air locker pump in the engine compartment and aftermarket power...

    What a gift!!!  that is awesome, congrats.  Mine is an early 73 with lots of 72 parts in it.  Which is a pain because this is the year the switched from T-shift transfer case to J shift.

    Been gone for awhile.... (Tranny Question)

    All back together.... 1) When setting your timing, make sure your rotor is FIRMLY down on the distributor shaft, or you will NEVER be able to set your timing 2) Make sure you fill your transmission BEFORE you try to take a test drive, because if you don't have enough fluids in your tranny it...

    Dana 20 shifting issues with C4

    They were VERY up front with the issues of making the modification and disconnecting the connecting pins.  You only need to open the case if you are going to remove the interlock pins for full independent shifting. You are correct that it would be very obvious to anyone with knowledge of the...

    Dana 20 shifting issues with C4

    I did not separate the shift rails inside the TC.  This would give me full independent selection of all options, (ie: Front wheel drive only in HI or LO range).  This would also allow my kids to select HI in the rear and LO in the front and destroy the drivetrain.  (I chose NOT to do this...

    Dana 20 shifting issues with C4

    I added the twin shift as I was finishing the rebuild on the engine and the C4.  I had everything out so I put a twin stick in and haven't got everything put back together to give it a try yet.  I remember that my '69 (3 spd) wasn't that hard to shift, but my '73 (C4) has always been hard to...

    no, it one stick controlling both selector shafts.  it was a real bear to get to shift.  hoping that by going to the twin shift it will be easier because one shifter, one shift rail...  we will see...
