I purchased my spindle bearings, in a kit, from Complete Offroad. http://completeoffroad.com/wsm/i-386_spindle_bearing_kit_dana_44.html Very good service with fast delivery. As for my inner/outer bearings, I got everything else from Autozone. Good luck

Sounds good. I will purchase the spot media blaster gun at harbor freight and perform what you said. Thanks

What is the cheapest and most efficient way to remove rust from behind the striker post? Can I use a harbor freight spot blaster, since I cannot get in the tight spot with a grinder or DA sander? If so, how do I remove all the media from within the tight space behind the striker support panel...

That thought had actually crossed my mind. Since my compression is good, I was just going to replace my rear main seal and possibly add EFI. Conversely, if I am going to go through all that trouble, I want to have a new motor in it. I will look into the surplus explorer motor and see where...

Trailpsycho: I just re-read the thread, then immediately realized that it was you that so kindly started it. I assume that you already installed the motor. How is it????? I am wary to purchase such a large and expensive item, especially when I cannot see the item. Though, if there are still...

mtnkraus: What electrical problems did u have? Can they be prevented if I use Ryan's harness? trailpsycho: Thanks for the lead 70EB: DROOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o COBlu77: How are your body mounts? Could that have been the reason you had...

Thanks for the responses ;D I noticed a slight discrepancy with the mpg of an efi 351. Is it more around the area of 12 or 20 mpg? Also, I think I would have to either run a major body lift or cut my hood to fit the 351 efi in my Bronco, unless I purchase BCB's new bracket, allowing a GT40...

Originally, I had this posted on on Vertex's roller cam in a flat tappet motor thread. However, I wanted to see what everyone had to think about my inquiry. Thank you la77 for offering terrific info regarding the pros and cons of choices a and b. I would like to perform an engine upgrade...

Sorry for changing the emphasis of this thread. If necessary, I can start a new one. I thought it would be somewhat relevant. Once again thanks guys

I would like to perform an engine upgrade in the near future. Currently, I am running a stock 302 with 160k and terrific compression. Unfortunately, all my seals are leaking due to there age. After reading this thread and others like it, it seems that it is efficacious to simply pull a...

Absolutely correct. I just finished my intermittent upgrade with an 86 Bronco and I made it seem much harder than it actually is. The wiper switch from a 78-79 is good because it is a direct plug in without having to move the power supply wire for the washer pump over a spot to coincide with...

I just made this absolutely simple upgrade a million times harder than it actually is. I just did not think that the power supply into the stock wiper switch is the actual part that goes into the intermittent wiper power connection. I feel pretty dumb right now, but live and learn I guess...

I just removed the bezel nut and wiper switch successfully. Unfortunately, I cannot locate where the switch wires attaches to the main harness. It seems to disappear into the back of the dash. Is it above the stock stereo or below the steering column? Thanks for the info!

Awesome! Makes complete sense. I was wondering why I could not just pull the knob off :p Thankfully, I did not brake it off.

Thanks for the response!! Can you please reiterate what the allen head takes off and where is it located?

I performed a similar setup with my stock 74. Upon completing an initial assessment of my steering, I decided to replace these parts which greatly increased the handling and drivability of my Bronco. 1. WH drag link 2. WTO rebuilt box w/ 3.25 turn upgrade 3. WH saginaw pump (just for...

I just pulled the intermittent wiper set up off an 86 Bronco. I am now getting ready to install it, but I do not know where to start on my own bronco. I discovered that there is not much space to work under my dash and I cannot easily differentiate where the wires start or end. What is the...

Thanks ugly74. Unfortunately my local auto parts store did not carry any wiper arm springs. However, I will scrounge the local junk yard for some replacements.

I too have discovered that my spring tension is too tight. Probably b/c I had to shorten my arm by 3.5" to get the 13" blade to fit correctly on my windshield. Does anyone know where I can obtain a spring with the correct tension? I read the old mustang springs work, but is there a specific...

Great info guys!!!! I actually had to forgo the caliper removal today; however I will definitely finish it tomorrow and post with updates. I also have to sand and paint my hubs, due to rust, after driving them through a good sleet storm through the sierras. ?:?
