Hello everyone,
I recently aqcuired a 1971 Bronco Sport with a nice running 302, she's a gem! But i can't figure out a couple things, i asked the old owner and he didn't know either, originally this bronco came with a 3 on the tree tranny, it now has an automatic tranny with a hurst ratchet shifter, i took her for a spin down the dirt road yesterday and it sounds like it's in 4 wheel drive all the time, i stopped next to a mud hole, put the bronco in "N" and tried to shift the transfer case to figure out the positions as there are no indicators of where 4h and 4l are, i have looked through the thread and found from dash back it should be 4l - 2l - n - 2h - 4h, i pulled the stick all the way straight back and it's a t handle with a button, i didnt' push the button, but it seemed like all the way back only the back two tires spun and then one forward from that all 4 spun, then i can find neutral and i can only find one forward of neutral wich is i'm guessing 4l, though not all 4 tires spun then, of course it could just have such a good ratio that the little mud hole i was in just for testing didn't require them to spin, i know 4 wheel drive works because i sunk it the first day i got it just for grins before i restore her and i pushed the stick forward and it walked right out of the gumbo, any help would be great and i apologize for the long starter thread!
Thanks ahead of time.
