PAW - Performance Automotive Wholesale. Huge catalog! Could’ve sworn I bought stuff from them in the 70s, even before I had a super shops close by. But I just googled images of the catalog and on the cover it says Performance Automotive “Warehouse“ and “since 1982“ But it also says in one...

I can’t remember if I mentioned it in your other discussion or not. But get that PCV system sorted out before you run the engine much more. You have a 70 model, with the PCV valve (presumably) in the rear passenger side valve cover, and the return air breather in the driver side. However, you...

He was talking about adding a ball valve, or other type of valve, to the drain plug location. Sounds like it comes plugged, but you can use it as a drain if you want. Pretty sure that’s what they were talking about.

I remember a friend once had to create his own "bullet" spacer for the back of a deep-well master cylinder. Can't remember what booster he was trying to mate up to his master, but the rod and piston were obviously not compatible with each other right from the get-go. Luckily he's a metal bits...

And a comment/question about your body mounts. Are they original? Or have they been replaced? Hard to tell from the pics so far, but yours look to be a little crushed down. In one pic, it looks almost new, but does look bulged out a bit. When original mounts deteriorate, even a stock tank filler...

What's wrong with using your old cut-out as a cover? You could add a lip all the way around yourself I would think. Or something to that effect. Also, your comment about a "stone reliable" pump is not necessarily going to hold true every time. In fact, if you see how many people have trouble...

Regarding electrical in general though, and perhaps even a contributor to your current issue, there’s a general practice I like to promote with the 66 through 70 model Broncos. And that is, with the battery disconnected, reach over to the firewall and disconnect those two rectangular firewall...

Magnolia, there are a couple of things unrelated to your lack of power that I want to point out. But I can do that over in your other thread. One is pretty important though, so will do so as soon as I can.

The Painless book is only an approximation, and then, only for a ‘71 through ’77 model. There are one or two variations in wire colors, and a few different wire connections. But perhaps, for the area between the starter rely, battery, and the initial run towards the firewall, it’s a general...

Not sure what the word is actually supposed to be. Perhaps “Sat” (for Saturday?) or “set” maybe? But in the first post, they said, the battery had been tested. So at least as far as we know for now, it is good. Hopefully the test was legit and the battery doesn’t have an intermittent internal...

Here is my simple, tool-less method of checking the gap. Remove the two nuts holding the master cylinder to the booster. Pull the master slightly away from the booster. Adjust the rod out something minimal. Say one turn. Gently push the master back in place and see if it bottoms out on the...

And I hate to throw good money after bad (even someone else's!) but maybe new battery cables would come in handy at some point. Do the testing first of course, since if yours are perfectly fine now, there is no reason to change them. But if you do end up with new ones, just get some decent 2ga...

Hah! Yep, exciting life you have, fiddling with Bronco brakes! But, that's all the more reason to check, double-check, and even triple-check the distance from the booster rod to the back of the piston. So, since my memory is bad at this kind of thing, refresh my memory on that subject. Did you...

Haha! Fortunately, Jon (admin) made it even easier than it was before, when he updated the software a couple of years ago. All you need to do, after you hit the "reply" button to get the quotes, is put the cursor where you want to break a paragraph or subject, then when you hit ENTER (or RETURN...

This is the only one I know of that can qualify as "low profile" and that's the one that requires the motor drop bracket. This is the Bestop high-riser and means you do not have to lower the wiper motor. Looks to me like a Jeep riser/channel. Note that it's slightly curved (not for Bronco) and...

This looks like factory original wiring. Is that correct? If so, there is no fuse in the fuse panel, or in line with the black wire, that can create this problem. None… Only aftermarket panels with more fuses might have something along these lines. Also, that yellow wire you mentioned on the...

OK, no power to anything can only be a couple of things. First is the fusible link on the larger 10ga black wire from the battery side of the starter relay to the firewall connectors. Not the big battery cable, but the next size down. Second, and most likely, is a bad battery cable. Can be...

Thanks for that information. Good to know.

Were they already bolted together, or separate? If separate, I think the question asked was leading up to whether or not you’re at the proper gap set up between the rod and piston. Yes. Ish…😁 I don’t think blowing up the motor is in the cards. I run my Advance up to 21° one time just to see...

In theory… It definitely does. Other than the ethanol in the gasoline these days, which really messes with fuel pumps and carburetors. And frankly, points and condensers don’t stay in tune forever, or even half of forever without constant tweaking and twiddling. Seems about right. You can’t...
