    Longer pushrod Question

    I have installed a new H Roller cam into a 1986 302 truck motor. It has the stock pedestal rockers. I knew I was going to need longer pushrods due to the smaller base Dia. of the new cam. So I got my pushrod checking tool and figured out I needed 32 thousandths longer pushrod to get to zero...

    Asking for some body building help / information

    I started another bronco build a while back. The frame and running gear has been done and I am doing body panel replacement. Well that's how it started but as I got into it it became evident that very few pieces of the body were worth repair. I had already purchased about half the panels when...

    Out of hibernation

    Some of my car friends egged me on to take the bronco to their ( Lions Club) car show. The truck had not even started in a year at least. Took the cover off and cleared the crap out of the way. Turned on the pump and hit the starter. Boom she started right up. This is odd because this truck...

    pressure tank or air compresser

    I am thinking what would be best for on board air. If you have air lockers you need a compressed air supply. Would a small air compressor work better than pressure tank? I like the pressure tank option. It seems more compact and simple than mounting up a compressor and having to wire it in...

    Your favorite place to buy lockers, axles , gears and set up kits?

    Bronco Location

    I put an Apple air tag in my broncos. I didn't used to think much about them getting stolen. But with the interest in broncos I find more and more people looking at it in the parking lots. I mean face it, they are easy to steal if someone wanted it. I really wonder about some of the people I...
