Thanks I look forward to keeping the thread up-to-date.

Thank you for everyone's advice. To wrap up this thread, this past weekend I decided to stick with the stock exhaust manifold. I then replaced both doughnut gaskets with Fel-Pro gaskets from AutoZone. Worked like a charm, no more exhaust leak.

Hi All, Starting up a build thread to document my gradual progress of a mostly original, North East origin Bronco. This is my first Bronco, and my first solo restoration; other than classics throughout my childhood. Following the guidance of this forum, my goal is to achieve a reliable, true to...

Hi Everyone, First off, I want to preempt too advanced feedback (lol) by stating I am an amateur eager to learn. Current Setup: 1970 302, Manual Transmission, Autolite 2100 2b Carb, no a/c Recently redid the intake manifold gasket due to leaks out front passenger side corner and rear. Prior...

Sounds is one of the few things ill compromise on for not going stock haha. I believe PO installed a two to one to a cherry bomb??

Sure I appreciate the clarification. If I dont have to change the current manifold, I wont. Only reason I am considering is because of this leak which I believe may be the doughnut gasket. Also, if it would give the truck a more throaty, louder note. Which I am learning is more to due with the...

Ah okay thank you this answered what I was looking for. I was actually thinking very much along the lines of what you were saying here. I am pretty sure it is indeed the doughnut gasket. To confirm, the picture below is what I believe to be the culprit. You can visibly see it moving. Need to...

Hm would you guys go with the Tom's stock manifold replacements then?

Thanks for the feedback. A couple notes on my end; 1. I wont be looking to wheel except on the beach, so the clearance wont be an issue from the underside. In addition, I am keeping the EB stock height. 2. I am looking to get a deeper sound with more throat to it; I current have a single pipe...

Agreed. New one I am install is free from PO. Once this thing craps out I am brining the original radiator to a shop for a recore/repair.

I got the new RobertTShat 195 thermostat in this past week and I am moving onto installing the new radiator; 3-core Aluminum Radiator from Tom's Off Road https://tomsoffroad.com/parts/66-77-ford-bronco-3-core-aluminum-radiator I am buying new radiator brackets and bushings also from Tom's...

My exhaust manifold is looking pretty shot and I believe I have an exhaust leak. Does anyone have recommendations for specific brands or in which direction I should go, headers or exhaust manifold? Pros and Cons to each? I like a bit of a louder truck.

Luckily no inspections for me

Tires are solid. Good point. Is it worth upgrading to a Heim setup?

I wanted to send a thread update; I got my alignment report back from FireStone. They recommended starting with steering stabilizer and tierods. Does this report help any of you narrow down the cause?

33 is what I ran on my Jeep, seemed to be the best middle ground. Thats what I am running on the Bronco now, it has helped every so slightly with the shake. Or, might be a little sugar pill syndrome. Either way, going to use the above suggestions and report back. Thank you for the thorough...

Yes! And the intake manifold.

I wanted to share some progress I made on the Bronco this weekend; restored my original air cleaner and I gave my tailgate some love. All rattle can, Blue Painters Tape, PB Blaster, an old box and a harbor freight machine wash tub. I think it turned out pretty great. I used a matte white for a...

Great tip either way
