I plan to run seem sealer on both sides of all my weld joints as well as any Ford ones. It is cheap insurance - can't keep rusting if there is no air + moisture. Just watch the paint window - some products must be top coated in 24 hours. I plan to finish all my repairs, seam seal, sealer then...

Thanks! For some reason I can't open the attachment. Let me try anotehr computer.

'68 Bronco - I was in an accident a few weeks ago and I am taking the truck apart to rebuild. Why go half way when you can go waaaayyy past the project scope??!?! Damage is in front left corner and I have sheetmetal off and I am checking frame. Vertically down each frame rail the dimension is...

I coat them with RTV then tap into place until they are flush with the surface. Go too far and they drop into the cooling jacket and you need to fish them out with channel locks. Clean the bore really good in case there is something that caused it to come loose. Machine shops let the new guy...

It really depends on how tech savvy you are. If you want it to just "work" like modern car you will be disappointed. If you like to work on it and get it set up and tuned it will take longer but you will be very happy. I used all stock Mustang / Explorer parts on my conversion because the...

Additional info - the other party has the same insurance as I do and they have accepted that it was the other driver's fault. I provided my pictures, links to parts suppliers and rough list of what is damaged. I'll give them a week or so. I can see a reference to JamesRoney above as part fo...

I need to renew to post photos...it is not that bad really. Looks rough. I did some measurements last night and the front frame is bent upward about 3/8 but I do not think that is a huge deal to repair. The latest is since they are not paying storage fees (it is in my garage) we can go the...

Last night I had an accident with my '68 Bronco after 15+ years of ownership. Everyone is ok and I was not at fault. Front frame ear tore where the bumper was attached and it may be slightly tweaked but it seemed drive straight. Fender and grill pretty much gone and corner of hood damaged...

Crank it over with clamp off the gear angle should give it a shove.

This sounds like a strange one for sure. Broncobowsher identifed where to start - look at the keyway in the crank to know TDC #1. Slip the balancer back on and the line should be near zero on the pointer. If it is 180 degrees away crank it around another turn you are TDC on #1. For Ford...

For what it is worth - MSD 6A was the earliest counterfeited item starting in the 90s. Chinese units starting showing up and Summit sold them by the zillions. I first figured it out when I had a car come in with inconsistent performance. As a test I went to swap my 20 year old MSD off the...

I've never had a soft top Bronco (Mustang, Corvette experience) how does this stow/fold? What does it look like? How long does it take to fold down and fold up? Thanks

Super low tech test - when you put the turn signal into the place that it lights but does not blink gently apply pressure and move it up and down slightly. If it starts to blink it is in your signal switch.

I ground them flush and then let them drop out the bottom. I fished a new plate with a short stud up into the pocket using a string and plenty of foul language. Once I pulled the stud through I had a "handle" to keep the plate in place. I ran a nut over it so it would not fall back in. Then...

I have Heddman on my 5.0/4R70W and I had to alter the flange on passenger side to get them to fit. I think I cut it off, rotated it 30 degrees and re-welded it. Everything else was fine.
