    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Radiator Replacement

    Thanks will check out the pump recs. Would rather spend up to spend once. Any recs for a thermostat? I assume I should be looking for a 190 F.

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Not exactly sure how long its been off the road, I believe I am only the 3rd owner. It seems it was off the road for about 2 years...unsure

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Radiator Replacement

    Oh man don't push me...but this is a good idea. Mileage, lets assume the conservative assumption that the timing chain probably could use the work. Forgot to mention, my Bronco will mostly be in an environment between 30-90 F on average. However, might spend a portion of its life in Florida...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Radiator Replacement

    Great advice all around. I am not sure if or which thermostat temp I have. I will get an IR to see if gauge is accurate. I think I am going to go down the route of having my stock radiator rebuilt/fixed based on advice from other threads. I put some jb weld on the overflow tube temporarily so...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Radiator Replacement

    Good checks, planning on all. Thank you. What temp should it be running at? I need to check which thermostat I have. Not sure which temp it is. I do believe I have a fan shroud.

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Radiator Replacement

    Hi Everyone, I am new to the Bronco world with my recent purchase of a 1970 Ford Bronco 302 w/ 3 speed manual. So far, I have been enjoying my experience on the forum and have received a lot of helpful feedback. I have been working on cars most of my life, although, I definitely consider...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Agreed a bit ambiguous. Next step is replacing the radiator and cleaning the engine. It will be easier for me to see where leaks are coming from that way.

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Great story, I enjoyed reading it. Interesting enough, I have no drips on the floor; I have let it sit plenty of times, after a few times, various locations. Actually, the only drip is from the steering stabilized (next on the list along with steering instruments). I want to thank you all of...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Makes sense. My carb rebuild kit came with a brand new diaphragm. I am going to replace with that.

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    After further inspection, it appears that it is specifically the accelerator pump which is leaking. If your eyes are sharp, look to the right of the red arrow and you will see the gasoline drip. Going to keep the carb attached to the gasket/spacer and try to remove the pump and replace gasket.

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Still very knowledgeable, thank you! I am going to start with just replacing the gaskets for the time being. Car is not bogging or running lean to my knowledge. Goal #1 is to get it back on the road. Although, I agree in the very near future I will set aside for the entire rebuild. Going to...

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Thank you everyone for the advice. I am going to stick with the 2100, either send it out for a rebuild or do it myself. Anyone have any companies they recommend for a rebuild? Need to do more research on the process. Any have additional rec's on a rebuild kit, or is Napa the way to go?

    1970 Ford Bronco 302 - Carburetor, Distributer and Intake Manifold Leaks

    Hi all, I am new to the forums and Bronco ownership; I purchased my Bronco recently and am diving into the very overdue maintenance items. I have been working on cars most of my life, although, I definitely consider myself an amateur eager to learn. Generally speaking, its running and...
