    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Connecting to the port directly beneath my choke on the carb which I thought was the vacuum advance fitting.

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Got her fired up and running! Chasing out some leaks now, tightening up coolant hoses. Found a leak that is either the rear oil pan or rear main. Nothing crazy, but I will keep an eye on it until i'm ready to tear it apart again next year. Have the timing around 13-15 BTDC. Took the amazon...

    Someone tell me whose 23gal tank I have!

    I think that is a BC bronco tank? with adjustable height to accommodate body lifts. I have a similar tank with AN fitting and sending unit it it, but not sure whose it is either, I'm under the impression its a BC Bronco tank. https://classicbroncos.com/24galtank.shtml

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Been a busy few days. Got the wiring finished up beyond some tape and clamps to make it intuitive and pretty. Got the starter installed so I could test the ignitions switch, got 1/4 rotation and nothing. So I pulled the starter and sure enough, the rock auto starter was DOA. Returned it and...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Thank you! He was like a father to me when I got into the rock crawling scene. He took me in, showed me the ropes and really drove the fire behind learning how to do all of this stuff. I always had an interest in cars/trucks/motors/etc, but he actually took the time to teach me most of what I...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Thanks for the advice! I really do appreciate it! I know I am on compression stroke, by placing my finger over the spark plug hole and feeling it pushing air out of it. Got my timing mark on today and just about dead between 0 and 10 BTDC. So I spun it over so that it was about at 12 BTDC. I...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Getting ever closer to cranking it up for the first time to make sure everything sounds like it’s working fine. Picked up a cage for it the other day, nothing amazing but better than the hardtop that could barely support it’s own structure. I had kept the hardtop on to try to maintain the trucks...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    I've thought about it and may do the main run from the prop valve to the axle drop in NiCop, but my local hydraulic supplier usually cuts me a really good deal on the hoses and I trust his work more than mine haha. On another note, i'm going to be installing the distributor once the timing mark...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    I can imagine, I've had to clean some up before and it was not fun. This week i've had the harness in and out a few times. Got the front coils replaced and started to work on patching the trans tunnel for the NP435. The NP203 and Dana 20 twin stick will have removable covers to allow them to...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    This one got new floors pans and rockers before I got it thankfully. So most of the rust isn’t terrible.

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Thank you, while it’s not 100% his plan, he never wanted it to be a pavement princess either so it being a dedicated wheeling rig would be right along with something he would have enjoyed. Been working on the wiring harness some more. Bought a Deutsch connectors kit from Amazon ($200 or so)...

    1970 Bronco Wheeler

    Figured I would post my progress on this 1970 Bronco. It belonged to @NC-Fordguy before he passed away and I had been working with him on it when he wanted to turn it into a daily/weekend warrior. In keeping with his ideals, I needed a wheeling rig since I determined my 1986 Bronco with an LS...
