The funny thing is I had just added some in the last tank of gas I had got before this happened. i try and make it my daily driver every other week, but I did just go through a 3 week period of not driving it so maybe that might have contributed

various carb kits when/if it comes to that;) https://www.partsgeek.com/zhfcfk2-ford-bronco-carburetor-repair-kit.html?gb=pp&cid=28884375&aid=4168799307&kid=1100003047982&msclkid=878f83ae047716722ef9e646fca4b354 that is a good question, last time this happened i was in the middle of an...

thanks for the replies, I think I am going to forgo the EFI conversion and focus on a working Carb, whether I do it myself or remove it and take it to someone. (I still don't trust myself with the little parts, Carbs and Transmissions at two thing I don't mess with.) Then I need to look...

basically I rolling to a stop and then the car feels like it is running out of gas, then dies. Pretty much a drop to zero RPMS in about 3 seconds. When trying to restart Gas is going to the carb, in fact so much it floods and gas comes out the side. Which led me to think it was an...

It is the stock Motorcraft carb, nothing fancy. I tried rebuilding about 9 years ago, just don't trust myself with all the little pins and other little parts. basically just switched out a lot of gaskets, then called it a day. Then and had a profesional do it. Most of the fuel system...

interesting, I will have to look into that, I have had some issues with the ignition switch, (guages and lights not working, but car is running. ) definitly worth looking into, thanks

I don't have a Tach, so I can not see if the rpms are dropping or not, but it does see like most of the time that it happens the car is slowing down. (I am usually coming to an intersection) It is not that I am not that mechanically inclined, I just know my limits, and when it comes to...

Revisiting this issue again, at least the random dying part. Since my last post I have had a couple random stalls, had the bronco towed home and after a few days it would start no problem. Drove it to a local mechanic I trust and he thought it might be the coil overheating and then failing...

I am thinking of switching my 73' 302 over to EFI, was looking at the Sniper. I just started doing some research on them. So when I saw this post it gave me pause, What king of problems are people having?

I will definitely check the connections at the coil to see if they are solid. Not sure what that one lead is. it is not a tachometer, the care does not have one. half to do some digging to see where it goes. As far as the ticking at normal temps, it is hard to tell, while driving that car...

I have a 73 Bronco 302 three speed. Around every six months it just decides it wants to die and not start up again, usually in the middle of an intersection or stop light. I usually end up towing it home and then when I get around to looking at it, It starts up just fine like nothing...

Put the old pump back in, (was not sure it was bad when I pulled it out) No leak, for now. Guess it was the pump and not the line. I must have damaged it when I put it in a year or so ago, or it was defective to begin with. Either way, no leak. all is right with the world, until...

thanks for the info, I looked over everything, don't really see any cracks. I would like to keep the return, so I think I am going to switch the pump. they are not to expensive, so hopefully that cure everything.

Mine does have two tanks, but I think it is only a 3-way switch, but never look that closely. The return does go all the way back to the main tank not the switch. As best as I can tell, there sure are a lot of lines that criss cross under there. I have no idea what changed on the car...

The threads seem OK. for no reason I feel like it is the Flange not sealing properly. That was the theory I was going on.

It is leaking at the fitting. not sure if it is the line or the pump. If just does not seem to be sealing very well.

The fastener nut is a bit soft around the edges, but the line is actually in pretty good shape. The leak is where it connects to the fuel pump. I have not figured which part is actually leaking. Since I just changed the pump last year I figured I would start with the line. But who knows I...

I am having a little leak where the fuel line comes out of the mechanical pump on my 73 302. Figured I would just change out the line between the pump and the carb, but I am having a tough time finding a replacement. I want to stick with the a pre-bent molded model. I don't trust myself to...

Thanks for the responses. The fuel pump was changed about 4 years ago (when the carb was rebuilt) The ignition system is pretty stock. No fancy upgrades, I did change the coil a few years ago, when I had a similar situation happen. the points were changed a few years ago also. I am...

I have a 73 with a 302 and 3speed transmission. It was working great when one day a few weeks ago it decided to die in the middle of an intersection. Had trouble getting it started, when I could it would idle fine, but the minute you put it in drive and tried to move forward it would die...
