    Dynomax Exhaust Review?

    I've been looking at several options for a new exhaust system and I happened upon the Dynomax website. They offer a muffler called the Ultraflow Welded-X. It has an x-pipe built into the body of the muffler. I was thinking of running an x-pipe or h-pipe of some sort anyways and this looks pretty...

    New Headliner

    It's time for a new headliner. I'm just looking at the factory style parchment type. I see most of the vendors have similar ones at about the same price. Is there any differnce between them? I'm guessing they are some other aftermarket brand that the vendors are just selling. Are there any...

    Proud moment!

    Had to test the new H-4 headlight upgrade tonight so I took the wife for a ride and explained that the cost of the kit was well worth it. While at a red light downtown a young man, maybe high school aged, pulled up next to us in his red J■■P Cherokee. He kept creeping ahead as if he was...

    H-4 Upgrade

    I just got my H-4 upgrade kit from Tom's. Is there anything I should watch out for before I get started? Anything you did that you would have done different? Thanks for any advice.

    Gross Vehicle Weight ?

    After looking at several posts about which wheel bearings one might have, either large or small bearings Viperwolf1 posted a handy chart which uses the vehicle ID tag in the glove box. According to that chart Broncos were classified as 2780lbs or 3300lbs. The tag in my 73 says the Gross Vehicle...

    C-4 Shift Points

    Wondering if there is a way to change the shift points of a C-4 without doing a full rebuild. My issue is I have a 351-W with a stock column shifter. Under hard acceleration it seems to shift way to soon when in drive. Note, that I do not have a tach, yet, so I don't have any specifics as to...

    High Vacuum Reading

    This kind of goes along with my bouncing Alt gauge issue but I think it'w worth a new thread. After replacing the voltage regulator and setting the timing with a timing light I decided to check and see what the vacuum gauge would have to say. I connected at the lowest port on the carb and at...

    Alt gauge vs Volt gauge?

    I just noticed today that the Alt gauge is bouncing like crazy. I'm guesing it's the voltage regulator. However the after market Volt gauge is setting pretty steady. Any ideas on why that's happening?

    Chrome Grill.

    I know I had posted about this before but I didn't have any pictures to go along with it. I just posted some pictures and information to the my new "garage" link on here (Violator). I will try to get a better picture of the grill soon but I think you can get a pretty good look at it on some of...

    Inside of Rear Tailgate?

    Anybody have an inside view of a stock tailgate? I have an aluminum diamond plate cover that covers the entire inside of the tailgate and extends over the top edge. I just put on a new lift gate seal and that diamond plate is not letting it close and seal properly. I'm looking to ditch the...

    Ignition Timing?

    I'm looking for information on what the correct ignition timing should be for my 351W. I just replaced the carb, fuel lines, fuel filter, dropped and inspected the fuel tank. I'm still having an issue with it stuttering and running rough during hard accerlation either off the line and at highway...

    Vacuum Leak Symptoms?

    My Bronco has been runnning a little rough the past few days. It almost seems like it not firing on all cylinders. It just doesn't seem to be running "smooth" through the RPM range both in park or during acceleration. I can feel the difference by the seat-of-the-pants method and you can tell the...

    New avatar and profile picture.

    Just checking to see if I was able to upload a new avatar and profile picture. I'm able to tear apart and engine or rebuild any part on my Bronco but I am not very tech savey when it comes to uploading/downloading things.

    Productive Day

    I posted something like this in the "What did you do today" thread but I have a few questions and comments. First off I replaced the heater core and rebuilt the heater box and seals. While under the dash I removed some old nonfunctioning after market gauges and replaced them with new ones. So...

    Finished Hard Top Ideas

    What have some of you guys done to "finish" your hard tops? Mine needs a headliner but it has matching door panels and rear inside quarter panels. I was thinking of something to go along the sides around the windows and something along where the top bolts down to the bed. I was looking for...

    What a dipstick!

    I checked the oil today and got a surprise. The dipstick tube came out along with the dipstick. I only had time to get under it and check the nut that holds the dipstick tube to the oil pan. The nut was tight but the tube was just sitting loose in the pan. Is this just a simple replacement of...

    Kickdown installation?

    I plan on getting to this over the weekend sometime. I'm running a 351W with a Holley 600 carb and a C-4. The carb seems to have the proper kickdown linkage except for the extra spring and bracket and e-clip for the kickdown rod. The rod is attached to the transmition but the PO never connected...

    My coil keeps going out?

    I posted on here about a week ago about a problem I had with my Bronco just dying. I don't want to steal the thread below about my Bronco just turning off. My problem may be a bit more specific. Last week I replaced the ignition coil after getting stranded on the side of the road. I swapped in a...

    Headman Hedders?

    I'm considering buying a pair of Headman Hedders. I was thinking the Headman Elite Hedders, part #89418. They are a long tube design and have a thermal coating with the ball style collectors. I know they are not ceramic coated but I'm guessing they will hold up better than the cheaper painted...
