    Pulsating Lights.......Again

    Last year I had an issue with all my lights pulsating once the engine rpm got to 900 rpm and above. Checked the fuses, wires, and grounds and everything looked pretty good. Ended up buying a new voltage regulator from either Wildhorses or Tom's and it fixed the issue. Turns out the old Napa...

    Power Steering Box Leak

    Thought I finally got all the leaks fixed in the Bronco but walked into the garage this morning and noticed fluid under the front axle (both axle seals (Dana 30)) and a spot up front which was dripping off the pitman arm. Traced the leak from the pitman arm up to the top of the power steering...

    Leaking Transfer Case

    Transfer Case has leaked since the day I bought it. Initially, it was leaking from the fill plug and two of the lower bolts that hold the lower cover plate on. Took the fill plug out along with all the cover plate bolts, sealed the threads, put a new gasket on and they're not leaking anymore...

    Door Latches?

    I've been tackling issues one by one all winter long on our 1970. Finally to the door latch issue I have had since we bought it. The doors are usually pretty tough to close often taking a few fairly hard slams to get them to shut. They always catch the latch and stay 1/2 shut but need opened...

    Smittybilt Stereo Console

    Has anyone chopped off the front cup holders on one of these consoles? I have been thinking about getting one but it sits a tad to far back for my taste. I sat in a Bronco last summer that had this console. Liked everything about it for $100 but it just didn't fit right for my taste. Needed...

    Help removing ignition switch without the key

    I bought a nice used dash recently and the ignition switch was still in the dash. I need to get the thing out so i can strip the dash and paint it. I know how to remove the ignition switch when you have the key but any tricks to removing it when you don't have the key? Thanks.

    Carb Spacer ID

    My intake gasket is leaking so I started dismantling things yesterday. Also trying to get some things painted and some general clean up of the engine bay done. I got the carb off and noticed there were two thin spacers between the carb and intake. The larger one is a real pain sometimes as it...

    Oil Pan Gasket

    Got my oil pan fixed up and should have it back on this week. Question I have is concerning the gasket. I spent a little extra and got one of the Fel-Pro one piece blue gaskets. I guess they call it the Perma Dry Plus gasket. Anyways, there were no directions but I did see that it states...

    Oil Pan Help

    I have 70 with a 302. A previous owner had the engine rebuilt probably 3-4 years ago. Since I got it, the oil pan has leaked in and around the push in dip stick tube. It looked like someone tried stuffing a bunch of rtv around where it meets up with the pan. It was smothered pretty good. I...

    FL 225 Mile Bronco at Mecum?

    Anyone ever see this Bronco? Ad states that they "believe" it has 225 original miles??? It's hard to tell on my tablet but it looks like it has some wear. Might be able to tell on a larger screen. https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0117-269891/1974-ford-bronco/

    Rear Leaf Spring Shackle Help

    I'm in the process of replacing leaf springs and bushings. I was test fitting everything and the new bushings would not fit into the rear shackle. The new bushings are a hair too big. No way they're going to be forced in there. So I started looking and without having other stock shackles...

    Heater not working

    Heater in my 1970 isn't working. Starting to turn cold so thought I would try and tackle it. I checked and the heater motor isn't getting power. Traced it back to the switch / knob on the dash and that isn't getting power either. There is an orange wire and a red wire at the knob. I traced...

    Power Steering Box Set Screw

    I'm still fine tuning some steering issues. I noticed that the set screw in my power steering box is tightened in most of the way. It's almost flush with the lock nut. I've run across some other Bronco's lately with power steering and their set screw tends to sit up quite a bit more than...

    Anyone use a Mr. Gasket Fuel Pressure Regulator???

    A previous owner put one of these fuel regulators on ahead of the carb. So the fuel line came up and into the fuel regulator, then into a large fuel filter (looked too big for the application), and then into the carb. I never really cared for the set up because it just looked too busy for lack...

    Parchment colored paint

    Anyone have a good source for parchment colored paint? Looking to repaint my door panels and I've found a few cans online but the color listed looks darker than what I have. Not sure if it's just the website or not but it looks off. I would like to find it locally at a parts store if anyone...

    Intake Manifold Gasket.....Which One?

    Looks like I have to replace the intake manifold gasket on my 1970 302. The original intake was replaced at one point with a Holley Street Dominator 4 barrel intake. I was just going to pick up the basic Felpro intake gasket set for $15 at Advanced Auto on my way home but noticed the High...

    Size of hose between thermostat and heater core?

    I'm at work and forgot to check what size hose is between the thermostat and heater core for a 302. I have an intermittent coolant leak that appears to be coming from either the intake manifold or the hose between the thermostat and heater core. This hose was tucked along between the valve...

    Tire PSI and Wandering

    I have been fighting both a wobble and a wandering issue in our 1970 with a 3 inch lift and 30x9.5x15 BFG All Terrain KO tires. Front tires didn't look to bad but when I moved them to the rear it got rid of most of the wobble. Ended up replacing those two tires with basically the same tire...

    3 Speed on the floor......Need to hook up reverse lights

    3 Speed has been moved to the floor but the reverse lights are still at the column shifter. I would like to move them to the floor shifter (James Duff unit) but my concern is what exactly is involved in this. There was a new steel tunnel welded up and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of...
