    Electric windshield wiper replacement. (Old '66 vacuum ones)

    I've had the cheapie set from JCWhitney with the two indvidual motors in the past, and tended to replace the motors annually. I was glad when the windshield frame finally rotted out and I replaced it with a new one that could take OEM type wipers. -Hans

    one wire distributor 4-pin module failures

    Just to throw the possibility out there, since I had to deal with it in my Defender recently. Take your alternator down to get tested by a good rebuild shop, if it's got blown diodes in there that would easily wipe out the ignition modules in no time. Normally HEI modules are some of the most...

    Gear ratios for front and rear? 4.11 rear vs 4.09 front?

    It's absolutely nothing to worry about. That's the same actual ratio that came from the factory in many 6cyl trucks already. It's quite common to see small ratio differences between front and rear axles like that if they are using different differentials. -Hans

    New to the forum, saying hello.

    Well, after a 10 year hiatus, I'm in the market to un-do what I regrettably did. I'm back in the Bronco market. It sure is nice having a much more active and easy to access internet community than there was back in 1996. I sure do miss my '67. Sure, I spent way too much money to achieve...
