    Disc brake conversion question

    The idea is to make a sharp square edge for the seal Without making a sharp square edge called a stress riser that is the starting point for the axle to break

    TorqStormnkw has a supercharger for Explorer 5.0 serpentine

    What is your starting HP and what is your boost? For every 7 pounds of boost gets you about 50% increase in power

    TorqStormnkw has a supercharger for Explorer 5.0 serpentine

    The better an engine breaths naturally asperated, the better it will make power with boost. Bad airflow will make higher boost and less power. Good flow will make more power with less boost. Boost also makes hot air, which is bad for making power.

    TorqStormnkw has a supercharger for Explorer 5.0 serpentine

    Where does the alternator fit in? Need pictures of the complete accessory drive before it gets exciting. FYI, years ago Explorer Express offered a roots blower kit for the 5.0 Explorer accessory drive. Could not run with a distributor, the snout went through the distributor area. That was...

    KC Daylighters

    Look on the lights/bulbs for rated power. After that you can figure what you need to wire them. The Milwaukee battery pack, was it one of the 18/20V versions? You were likely overdriving the bulb by 50%. Many years ago this was a common thing in one of my hobbies, diving. The higher end...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    That rear main seal leak, could be intake and valve covers leaking down to look like a rear main. For what you describe, rebuild the stock carb. Super easy, super reliable. I have been known to remove the factory Holley 2-barrel from Internationals and upgrade them with a used Autolite...

    C4 transmission question

    I want to say you have to remove the nut inside the transmission pan. It has been a long time since I was inside a C4 and might be confusing it with a different transmission.

    Battery disconnect

    The little radio receiver will always have a little drain looking for the remote. What do you have that is doing the draw? Radio memory? EFI memory? I've had stuff that could sit for 6 months or more, no tender, and still start without issue. My boat doesn't care how long it sits. My old...

    How bad do you want to check your bump steer?

    Piece of scrap metal, I like angle iron. Clamp one side to the tie rod, the other to the axle tube. Big vice grips, maybe a C-clamp. Unbolt the front shocks. Bounce the front up and down. The more the steering wheel cycles as it bounces, the worse the bump steer.

    Brake lights and hazards not working- replaced turn signal switch did not fix it

    Correct. Not a short. High resistance. Barely touching connection. Why I speced to not touch the fuse when testing it. Corrosion or a cracked fuse can cause this. Simply pulling it can push the contacts together and you loose the problem, for a little bit. It will come back, usually at...

    Brake lights and hazards not working- replaced turn signal switch did not fix it

    The voltage dropping to zero going into the brake light switch (when activated to turn the lights on) is the problem. I don't know the painless harness good enough, is there a brake light fuse? Without removing it, put the meter on it (both sides) and test again.

    W.E. Rock

    It was in AZ a month ago. We were out there the weekend before running around on trials motorcycles. Watched some of the big toys coming through as they were setting up. There has been an evolution since I saw this stuff more than a decade ago. Didn't get to see anything actually run.

    Boosted bronco?

    I remember 20+ years ago seeing a Kenny Belle blower on a Bronco. The sweet setup (that is no longer available) was from Explorer Express. Fitting the belt drive will be one of the biggest issues. There is so little room up front for any accessory drive, much less adding a blower to it. That...

    Koenig winch mid drive shaft support bushing tolerances

    I don't recall ever seeing one that was just a bronze bushing riding on a shaft. I'm going to say that was the economy version and is wore out. Maybe a new bearing? https://www.mcmaster.com/products/bearings/ball-bearings~/shaft-diameter~7-8/

    Explorer swap timing

    The firing order follows the camshaft. If you are running the '97 Explorer cam, it is the '97 Explorer firing order. As for the damper with 3 sets of timing marks, that gets fun. I would start by removing the bolt at the front of the crankshaft. You can now see the keyway. Put the keyway...
