    Cheap bronco sunshade options

    So I'm being cheap to buy a real bronco bimini top. Looks like they are way over 100 on all the bronco sites but looks like Amazon has a million choices for jeeps and new broncos for under 30$. Anyone ever find an off brand cheap one that fits ? Looking for one from windshield to roll bar over...

    Update. I said wife I'm taking the kids for ice cream. She inspected the car seat and got the green light. My little guy had the best time of his life in his first bronco ride.

    Ford 170 expectations

    Update. So I just clamped off the vacuum line. And set my timing to about 8 degrees advance. And immediately my engine started to idle super high. My timing was so off and I was compensating with my idle screw. I had no idea. This is because when I set my timing weeks ago I did it with the...

    Ford 170 expectations

    So I just took the cap off the T2613 distributor and I'm not an expert but based on Google the guts look like a load o matic. I attached a picture. I also took a picture of my 1904 and it has a vacuum advance nipple, but no SCV valve. So I'm totally confused now. Is the nipple on the carb not...

    Ford 170 expectations

    So the distributor is a T2613 carquest. I have no idea how to identity if it's SCV? And reading on the 1904 it seems like it was popular for 50/60 Ford applications so probably did require an SCV. How can I tell if my carb is SCV?

    Ford 170 expectations

    Is there some feature on the carb I can look for that identifies it is an SCV? I'm more confused now. To add to the story. The original carb on it was a real Holley 1940. I did rebuild it but it was having idling issues when I first installed it so out of frustration I just went online and...

    So I have stock 235/75R15 tires. I don't know ratio but it's the stock Ford 9 . It said that year the 6 cylinder came 4.11 out of the factory. So I assume that's what I have. I just bought a brand new Holly 1904 replica carb on Amazon. Seems to work good. And a point distributor Carquest, with...

    Won't fire..... Help!

    Yes it was stock, points. It was an autolite replacement but where I think I messed up is I bought the distributor, cap, and rotor all separately. And I think my rotor was a tad too big and was rubbing the cap as it spun . Causing all kinds of issues, from Miss firing, not firing at all, and...

    Won't fire..... Help!

    So checked the center coil wire. Nice blushing white spark. Nice and healthy looking. I also forgot I owned a spark light checker. So I connected it to cylinder number one. And had my son Crank the engine. At first it lit up very irregularly and you could see every time it lit up the engine...
