There's nothing like a little fire in the engine bay to get you motivated for a little "Bronco time" in the garage. Luckily for me the fire was contained mostly to the carb and intake area, but it did make a mess of things. I'm pretty sure my harness was spared, but the loom was melted all over it, so it's going to need some serious TLC to get cleaned up.
My engine bay has looked like crap since 2010 because I didn't put enough hardener in the paint when I tried to do a garage paint job. So, I figured this was as good a time as any to correct that.
Got the engine out last night and Bronco is going to the pros tomorrow. I am also going to try and match my Reef Aqua color and have the valve covers, intake, alt bracket and water pump all painted to match. Maybe the timing chain cover, but I REALLY do not want to have to pull the harmonic balancer. We'll see how that goes. I'm shooting for a look similar to that awesome yellow Bronco featured in BD's last issue.
Does anyone know how to remove the heater air inlet on the pass side? I'm hoping I don't have to drop my heater unit to get to it. Don't have time before it goes to paint.
More to come! Cheers, B2
