Finally got everything back together with new engine after cleaning and painting the engine bay! Got her running but transmission doesn't engage gear.back to tranny shop.
Very clean, hopefully it's nothing too serious for you.

Before you head back, did you verity 100% that the transfer case is in gear?
Just figured I'd mention it if in the heat of the moment you overlooked that one thing that's been a gotcha for many here.

It's a great question. When I swapped in the new motor I had a hardened input shaft put in transmission. We confirmed transfer case is in gear so I think they messed up something in tranny. Thanks for looking out.

Pulled the edelbrock carb for the third time in 9 years to rebuild it. I'll be so glad when I get edits!

Fixing Ol' Deadeye
My drivers side headlight quit.
I went to the NAPA and asked for a headlight for my '77 Bronco.
The guy sold me a rectangular one for a '78. That seems to happen a lot with '77s. I usually tell them it's a '76 just for that reason.
When I got the right one home, I put it in and it didn't work either. A closer examination of the plug showed damaged wiring with a really poorly made repair job done with crimp on butt splices, and lots of tape.
Then it dawned on me...
The squirrels had eaten the headlight wires off over 20 years ago on a hunting trip. I'm the guy who made the field repair. I had planned to fix it right when I got home, but forgot.
So, back to NAPA.
I did the repair right this time with soldered connections covered with shrink tube.
Did you know those headlight plugs are the same as the flasher plugs?

Ordered about $2000 worth of parts for a 3 day weekend. Starting to get the feeling that this hobby might be expensive.

I used to love to rebuild carbs when I was a kid. The more complicated the better...but now that I am older and my fingers cramp up on me (early stages of arthritis), my eyes really let me down with tiny stuff, my Damn memory is not what it used to be...sigh...(camera phone helps a little there)....
I really do not like rebuilding carbs anymore.
I have a Holley T/A that I need to tear into...ugh...I am getting old....how did this happen, lol.,..

Oh quit your bellyaching and get back to work.
You still have a lot to offer here.
