Anyone have some input to this problem

Sounds like the engine is running too lean....either vacume leak or carb adjustment/rebuild.

Yes im a machinist. Just starting my own shop. Just purchased a 3 axis bridgeport with a centurion control and have 2 manual lathes. Had my dad stop by tonight in case I needed a tow to the farm thats where all the tools are. Bronco started right up again so I hauled a** to make it 8 miles b4 it warmed up. To my suprise It ran like a top all the way out there got up to 210* and ran with no choke. I even had time to spin some donuts in the snow and need a tow out of the pasture There some deep stuff drifted in there. Motor has some leaks so Im going to pull it this weekend. 40,000 org miles and last ran in 1982 b4 I got it last year. Probably get rid of the points and get different intake and carb. Check everything out and go from there. Thanks for the input.

My 1 st thought was the coil also but if I were you. I'd take him up on that good carb. I never figured out why my Bronco didn't want to run @ times.
So I'd like to see your answer when done.

30 yrs since it ran? Wow! Whose barn was that stored in?!? Good find. Starting to sound more and more like fuel/carb related.

Good luck on the new shop and may your feeds and speeds always give you the ideal CHIPLOAD! How was the pheasant hunting in SD this year?

Phesant numbers are down. They have been tearing up hundreds of thousands of acres of sod to plant that 8$ corn. If there is habitat there are phesants but its spotty.
