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...

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...

Adapted from a post by Craig Kepner. Photos used with permission.
I guess you could call this a Junkyard Tig Welder. The idea is you can mount a regular Ford 130 amp 3G style alternator on to your air compressor (or similar motor) so that you can use...

When I bought my Centech harness two years ago, I discovered that they supplied a wiper switch that was completely different than the one in my Bronco. Besides being different, it didn't interchange mechanically or electrically with the stock switch. It...

You want traction? Get locked. Both wheels locked together on the same axle, all four wheels locked to the transfer case = maximum traction. No wheel slip, no spin. Just relentless...
Tech article by Merle Howard (Howiebilt)
The first thing you have to do is get some help. You already know that you will have to cut your front axle housing in half and the darned thing weighs more than most mortals can lift by themselves. I have chosen to use a band saw, to do the deed, since...

No fancy tools necessary, no expensive stuff either...Pick up your favorite drink in a plastic bottle, a length (about 3') of 3/16" vinyl tubing, a 1/4" drill bit, the tiniest drill bit you have (I had a 1/16"), and some super glue {see Picture 1}...

Some of you have asked about the rear disc brakes for your Bronco's. Below is a summation of about 5 years worth of research and experimentation with 2 totally different rear disc brake systems, both of the original FORD equipment on their...

One of the hardest parts of installing the Chevy brake conversion is routing the brake lines. Trying to get the hose to route in a way that doesn't bind or get caught up in moving parts can be a real pain. After a visit to Randy at Driven Auto parts I...

Wandering the wild country one day, I stopped in a small town to acquire some fuel and liquid refreshment, and discovered the scrap metal dump just outside town. In amongst the derelict refrigerators and lawn mowers was a 1976 Mercury Grande Marquis Station Wagon. Ah Ha...

Recently I installed the "No Modify" Power Brake Kit from Tom's Bronco Parts and have been very happy with the results. In addition to being a nice kit, what really sold me was the fact that the booster design fits with no fender modification.
The kit was...

The addition of rear disc brakes is a popular upgrade for early Broncos. Lots of creative people have accomplished this mod using components from Lincolns, Cadillacs, Ford Explorers and others. These days it's easier than ever due to the availability of...
Tech article by Ryan Flud
I searched high and low for a disc brake conversion kit for my ’73 Bronco. It seems virtually everybody sells the Chevy/Ford conversion, not to mention they charge about $800 +tax and shipping. I don’t mind using parts from other vehicles to make an upgrade or...
