On my 1976 exhaust manifold it has two tubes coming out that operate the choke. they are in a separate port, one above the other with what appears to be a passage way between them. I'm replacing the tubes and notice that the passage way is either blocked or not intended to be an opening. Does...

Well I got the 302 back from the engine builder. Its a 1976 completely stock as well as the smog equipment. All stock new parts throughout the motor. What spark plugs do you guys recommend and have the best luck with on stock motors? Motor Craft, AC etc. Here are a few pics, I just got done...

I just got my 302 rebuilt and will be painting it myself. Just wondering if I have to use high temp paint. I really wanted to use a quality Dupont 2 part paint and spray it with my gun rather than spray cans on the engine itself. I will use high temp on the manifolds of course, but that doesn't...

I just got my motor and transmission back today from being completely rebuilt for my 1976 Bronco Sport. I am keeping everything original on it and have a question on the Duraspark distributor that would have came with it. I bought the 76 Bronco from the original owner after numerous attempts...

Here is some cool pics of the paperwork that came with the 1976 Bronco that I bought last year from the couple that bought it new. I told the story of how I tried to buy it from them in the 80's and they wouldn't sell. Well it was in the same barn in 2013 and hadn't moved. I got it bought and am...

Does anyone know the color of the blue ICON Bronco that's been posted on here, there's also a video on it? I watched the video and the ICON narrator says the color but its not clear what he said. I listened to the video several times to try to hear what he said but cant for the life of me. I...

I am restoring my 1976 back to all original and am trying to source the 2 tubes that come off the passenger side exhaust manifold. Mine need to be replaced and hopefully I can find them yet. I called Ford and the parts guy told me their system only goes back to 1980. Any ideas? here is a picture...

He is how I fixed the dip stick problem with the gasket area leaking on the oil pan. Also I was wondering if there is an O-ring that goes in the threaded area before screwing in the dip stick nut. thanks Paul

I'm doing a frame off restoration of my 76 and currently have the frame completed and is on wheels. I don't have the engine, tranny or body mounted yet. I went to install the new shocks and they are short a couple inches due to the lack of weight on the frame. Can I compress the frame enough to...

Are partial wire harnesses available from any vendor? I have a 1976 and I need the rear harness for the rear tail lights/side lights. It plugs into the main harness near the rear gas tank and is about 5 or 6 feet long total. thanks Paul

I am restoring a 76 sport that I purchased about a year ago. It originally had the vinyl floor mat. I am planning to put carpet back in and have a question on the side panels on the rear wheel well. Are there special tabs that the side panel screws to on a bronco equipped with them from the...

I am to the point of running the emergency brake cables from the rear axle towards the front of my newly painted frame. I forgot to take pictures of how the emergency brake cables were run on my 76. Can someone check how they were run originally, either over top the leaf springs or underneath? I...

I could use some help on re-assembling the front differential, radius arms and springs back onto my bare frame. Its a 1976 all stock and I have sandblasted and painted all the parts and its going back together. Could someone that's done this before explain the proper steps and order in which to...

I have my dash completely apart doing the restoration. I tore the cloth screen that goes between the speaker and speaker dash slots. Does anyone know of a replacement I could use. thanks Paul

Im restoring my 1976 Sport to original. I don't really want to put a lift on it requiring me to make changes to the steering etc and am looking for tires to put on the original rims. I like the tall, narrow look with aggressive tread. What are some nice looking tires that I could go with and how...

I used to paint but have been out of it for over 10 years. I used to use acid etching primer on bare metal and would build up using the old laquer primers. I have been media blasting parts and areas on my new Bronco and am getting ready to shoot some primer. What are the best primers out there...

I am going to be putting a partial floor pan in my new purchase soon. What is the better method, nicely measured spot welds or a continuous weld. I am knowledgeable on warping and if I went with the full weld I would weld-cool weld-cool. What are your thoughts. Thanks Paul

I will be replacing the rear quarters on my newly purchased 76 Bronc. I have researched on here on how I will do this but was wondering if I should leave the top bolted on for added support and less chance of it tweaking out of place or is it not necessary. My plan was to also leave body on...

Ok so I finally got this 1976 Sport bought today! I am so excited about getting into the body work. Ive been doing a lot of reading here and it seems best to replace my rear quarters with the body still on frame for stability reasons. I don't have any problems with the fab part (esp with bouree...

Well, I joined this site a year ago or so after I was dealing on a 1976 Bronco. At that time the deal didn't go through. The owners are in their 80s and the wife refused to sell it to me. I should note that I tried to buy it back around 1985 but failed. Well out of the blue I called them again...
