Sounds good Broncobowsher. I do like that it has stock cold air intake. Someone at some point in the ownership of this bronco installed an Edelbrock aluminum intake with Carter carb. Not sure if the Carter carb is original though? I’ve been reading up on the 383 stroker and have been told...

Charging issue is FIXED!! The field test show zero volt meter reading. I also realized I didn’t have the metal ring sticking out of the rubber strain relief grounded! So grounded this and tried field test again and volt meter read .02 so Broncobowsher per your thread my voltage regulator was...

Okay Broncobowsher I’ll try the simple test you suggest. When testing for voltage at the Field terminal I’m using the red lead from the volt meter and attaching to the Field Terminal correct? Where does the black lead from the volt meter go? To a ground point so the block of the engine?

I’ll give the full fielding a try. Never done it before so thanks for the added detail on how to do it!

Thanks guys for your input. Paul you helped me with my hub/rotor replacement. I’ll share a bit more context to this existing charging issue. It is stock wiring wiring, alternator, etc. The kid I purchased the bronco from mixed up the positive/negative cables to the battery so when he...

I’ve got a new battery and alternator installed in my 77 bronco and when testing the system with a volt meter without the truck running I get a reading of 12.46. With the truck running it drops to 12.2 and stays there and with headlights on it drops further to 12.03. If everything’s working...

Easy out worked beautifully!! Bought a inspection camera and vacuumed out the cylinder and all is GOOD!!! Appreciate all of the help guys with the hub and rotor process and broken spark plug.

Thank you, Steve. I’m going to try an easy out today. And will vacuum out the cylinder like you suggest. Fingers crossed!

That’s the problem...the hex actually came out with the top 1/2 of the plug.

The hub/rotor change out was a success. Thank you once again for your help, Paul! Now a new snag. I was changing out the spark plugs and on the last one drivers side near firewall it broke off with the threaded parts still in the cylinder head. Now what?!?! Any ideas? I’m thinking I’ll...

Thank you for this, Paul! I’ll follow these steps when I put it back together. The Detroit Iron shop manual is specific to the 77 bronco and F150. I plan to get it done this week and will let you know how it goes. Todd

Thank you Paul and Steve for the extra tips! I’m hoping to tackle putting it all back together this week. I have the Detroit Iron OEM Shop Manual, which has been very helpful. I’ll read up on the bearing adjustment procedure and if questions will post.

I got it!! It was stuck to the spindle nut and took a bit of working back and forth with the pic but it broke loose. Thanks again for your help!!!

Okay I added the pic as my avatar. :-)

Thank you for the reply. Okay, took a look...does the locking washer have tiny holes around the perimeter? I took a pic, but not sure how to attach it to this thread.

Hey guys. I’m new to the forum and own a 77 for bronco and replacing calipers, pads, hub and rotors. I’ve removed all of the snap rings and the first spindle nut. There’s a second spindle nut but it doesn’t spin off like the first. There’s a groove along the spindle so it looks like I need a...
