On-Board Air – York 210 compressor

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Tech article by gi_phil
This write-up summarizes how I put on-board air into my 1971 Bronco. I have a 3.5” suspension lift, a 2” body lift, and enjoy wheeling. Having on-board air is not only a nice benefit to airing up and down tires but could also come in handy for a variety of [...]

Liberty Electric Fan for your Early Bronco

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Tech article by Viperwolf1
While gathering parts for my 5.0 EFI install I happened across a two speed electric fan from a 2004 Jeep Liberty, part number 55037669AE. This Liberty did not have the towing package. With the towing package the Liberty will have a different electric and a mechanical fan. The shape looked simple enough [...]

Glove Box Relocation for Roll Cage

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Installing a front roll cage was actually quite a bit more complicated and thought intensive than simply  fitting some pre-bent tubes together and welding them in place. It was all the work done to make  room for the cage that took the most time. Clearance becomes a premium when deciding exactly where to install the [...]

How to build a Fuel Accumulator for EFI

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Tech article by Ed Wilbur (eds66bronco)
I wanted to provide good clean fuel to my efi project and to be sure I had fuel at any angle I might find myself at. I looked into all the different options for accumulators and decided that like everything else on my bronco, half the fun is making it [...]

Threaded Oil Dipstick Tube

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Tech article by Rob Wilson
After replacing my motor with a brand new one, I was bummed to find that it still leaked oil. I had hoped that one of the benefits would be that I would spend less time wiping up oil from the garage floor.
While I was building the new motor, I thoroughly cleaned [...]

351 Cooling Tips

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Tech article by TOFIC
After reading about all the cooling problems that you can have with the 351 I did some research on how to minimize the problems I could have. After some reading I discovered that some intakes did not have the rear cooling ports open for use of the cooling system. Checked my new [...]

Synthetic Lubricants

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Tech article by Todd Henderson (74bronc)
If you’re like me, the idea of religious 3,000 mile oil changes has been crammed into your being ever since you began learning about cars. This philosophy is undoubtedly a result of decades of 3,000 mile oil/filter changes and the “Quick Change” oil establishments that continue to promote this mentality. [...]

Electronic Fuel Injection

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Tech article by John Edgecomb (edge4)
Click here for the parts list.

One of the most important elements of any Early Bronco EFI conversion is the fuel system. Due to the high-pressure requirements of the fuel rails and injectors, the stock pump and fuel lines are completely inadequate. The last place you want to be is standing [...]

Offroad tricks for Holley 4 barrel carbs

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Tech article by Jody York ( broncnaz)
I’ve run a Holley 4 barrel on my Bronco for close to 30 years. Before I did some of these mods I rarely had any problems offroad that couldn’t be fixed with a float level adjustment. Keep in mind I’m not into the extreme stuff, but I have had [...]
