And the rest of the story???

Went for a ride

Been there, done that... several times!

The one thing about this truck, even when it was ratty, was it's always been dependable. Drove it around all day, pulled in the shopping center and just died while driving. Think the summit ignition coil gave up the ghost. No spark...new one be here tomorrow

Finally got started on the driver floor area.

 

[tasker]

WELL, not the suspected coil. I did spend time doing some testing and leaning towards the module in the Summit distributor. Luckily I have a spare from a while ago. Maybe by Sunday


BUT WHY do I have a spare Summit distributor? Was it the problem last time? WHY would I keep it if it was?

The sudden stop and then nada is a hallmark of a module failure, at least IME.

Congratulations Sir, I'm digin' your gauge cluster too. That is awesome!

I was hoping to take the Bronco on another test drive today. But other obligations got in the way. However I did manage a quick stop at Harbor Freight's parking lot sale.

You never know when one of those mall boulders jumps out to get you.

Or when you need to drag some random Jeep out of the spot you want to park in!

Finished up the drivers door inside and out. Sport trim installed, remote mirror all set up. The to the interior of the door, glass latches felts runners, everything. Lots of fussing to get the door card as close to perfect as I could. Unfortunately it all has to come off. The last arm rest screw going in and the shitty reproduction spring clip snapped in two, so All that has to come off without scratching the paint.

While I'm waiting for my chromoly joints to show up I tore down the front end in preparation.

Definitely glad I decided to change these out before they became a problem!

So glad I bought this tool, ujoints are a breeze

 

[tasker]

It's alive! Put my previous distributor in and after few attempts of trying to stab it right... It fired up. Thank God!

 

[399strokerEB]

Installing these tonight, definitely more work than a standard ujoint.

For sure stronger. Just don’t forget to grease them every time you lock the hubs.

Drove to work...AND made it!
