    Anyone have experience with the Toms Hydroboost kit?

    Not sure how about others, I never see 1 or 2 day shipping from any online store. Local parts houses if ordered early enough can have somethings the next day. Oddball or specialty items relax, it can be a bit. Buying a standard part is the best thing in the long run if you are planning on...

    23V at Coil (Coil Overheating)

    Is your header correct? You are getting 23v output from your alt? If so you have a issue here. Why are you throwing parts at it? Have you done any testing? If so how and what were the results. New parts doesn't equate to good. DO NOT THROW ANY OLD PARTS AWAY at this point. Your picture...

    How do you guys clean your dash pad?

    Back in the day we used baby oil. I still have a couple vehicles I did that with in the 80s and still no cracks. Haven't used anything for years since. To be fair I always try to garage my vehicles.

    Red 72 Explorer Sport Patina Rebuild

    Pcv valves are calibrated vacuum leaks basically. They need to be the right size for your application. You have very specific wants for your choke to operate. Have you considered a manual choke. You will be able to adjust on the fly for your needs. Early broncos came with them and...

    1966 Restoration "Where do I start"!?

    Should be a great project for you to share. Please resist the urge to add much power wise. Short narrow wheel base with high center of gravity in the hands of a new driver is a recipe for disaster. Think of it as a safety item. Be sure and update with pictures as you proceed. Edit: you...

    New WH Coil Springs

    Don't over look the possibility that you had a higher lift that is worn out and sagging when weighted.

    Change my rear end gear in my 66 U14 to what ?

    A cheap easy way to test is throw a set of taller tires on. If you don't put it in 4wd you only need to do the back. This should help you understand what changing the gears would give you.

    Some day I'll get another Bronco

    Perfect. Plenty of time for him to get to know it on a first hand basis and do any maintenance and repairs. Make it something to be proud of, so he makes wise choices every time he gets behind the wheel. Enough sweat equity generally makes them appreciate things more and take better care of...

    1984 bronco 351w flex plate issue

    Have you tried turning over the motor by hand, well breaker bar or? Depending on what you find you could go one step further and unbolt the torque converter if needed. Quick free test to help you decide if it's a motor issue or a stater/electrical issue. Your post #20 leaves some doubt as to...

    Some day I'll get another Bronco

    Why wait. You aren't interested in the money it will bring. Why not be here to watch your son enjoy it and be there to help him keep it going?? You probably have other things you can give any other kids. It's not about equality in money, but about things they value. You can control the...

    Cooling Issues

    You already have plenty of good information. My question is have you checked with an IR gun in different places to verify gauge temp readings and potential hot spots??

    LS3/6L80e Engine Swap into my 73

    The above, along with road condition. I have a section of road I drive regularly. Different sections of the 10 mile road give a variety of driving experiences. This includes road noise, not just handling.

    AOD Remote Only Trans Cooler setups

    As always everything you do is clean. My thoughts have to do with air flow through the cooler, even with the fan which you said is a puller. Being that tight to the bed can the fan pull enough air to properly cool. Add to the mix air turbulence at speeds. The fan is trying to pull air that...

    Soften ride

    No matter what you decide, make sure you take into account the load the suspension will be expected to hold. Hard top, extra passengers, spare, etc. The front you can choose between progressive and linear. As you know quality shocks will make a HUGE difference as well. Hopefully as close...

    Hf floor jacks

    What your majority use should help dictate what direction. For a bronco lots of lift height. Low car collapsed height would be the driver. With a removable saddle you can always make an extension similar to what HF did.

    What to do with paint to maximize value.

    Wash it then a good buffing. They will be surprised on how it looks and how much it saved their funds for LT. Make it reliable to drive, then enjoy.

    The coil positive will drop voltage in run. Same as the I post on the starter relay.
