Thanks guys. I am going to pull the heads tomorrow and see what I find out. I don't think the engine overheated and blew a head gasket but rather the guy that put the gaskets in pinched one or didn't seal it correctly. The only reason I believe this was because the Bronco was leaking water from...
Well I found the problem the other day and unfortantely it isn't good. I went to change the oil and water came pouring out. There was so much water in the pan that it first ran out clear before turning a dirty water color. I do not know the history of this engine and obvioulsy whomever rebuilt...
O.k. I will try to follow up on all your questions.
Broncobowsher- Yes, it has compression. We did a compression test to verify. I have not had time to work on it for a few days, due to the holidays, but plan on changing the oil before cranking it over again. As for the timing we used a timing...
I know the timing is right. We have checked it a few times now. The rotor does point to the number one cylinder at TDC. I am going to buy new spark plugs and try those as the other ones may have gotten so wet that they are no good. As for the carb I haven't looked into the float as I...
I recently purchased a 1970 Bronco with a 289 engine. I was told that the engine was recently rebuilt but it was not wired so at the time I never heard it run. The engine was real clean and painted nicely so it seemed believable at the time. After fixing someones wiring disaster I got the...
This shot of the Bronco was taken about a month ago. The body work is now complete and the Bronco is sitting in primer until Spring. We will be painting it yellow with black flares and a black soft top.
Here are a few of my other toys. I restored the 65 Mustang a few years ago and am now working on both the 1970 Bronco and a 1965 Mustang fastback. The 2000 GT and 2005 GT are very modified. We show them in shows when time allows.
You wouldn't want to measure your bows (the things that support the roof of the top) for me, would you? I bought a Kayline top without a frame and will soon be in the process of building my own custom frame. I just need the measurements for the length of the sides and across the top. This would...
I myself received the e-mail from the ranger station as well. I proceeded to contact Ford over the issue. I feel they are taking this too far. The ranger station has been around for years and is a very valuable resource. I did a 4.0L V6 swap over to my 88 Bronco II and couldn't have done it...
