My old p/s pump on my 77 302 is ready for the scrap pile. It is the round body Cardone style pump. It seems a lot folks use the Saginaw pump so I’m thinking of making the switch with the new one. Would the Saginaw unit be a direct swap with my current mount brackets, hoses, and spacing or will...

I need help finding a diagram with part descriptors of 77 front suspension. What is the arm called that connects from driver side frame rail to the passenger side of axle housing? Also I’d like to know what the purpose is for the unused bracket on the front axle housing. Would this be for a sway...

Hey guys, thought I would share a way to build long turnbuckle style braces for bikini tops with a 1/2 half cage roll bar. Everything I used came from Lowe’s and my pile of odds and ends around the shop except the brackets on the roll bar (Amazon). 36”x 3/4” aluminum tubing and 6” aluminum...

Just a little something that has always caught my attention when under the hood. Looking at the picture you will see that my vacuum advance comes close to touching the radiator hose. In fact the vacuum hose does lay against the radiator hose. Is this a normal position for the advance to sit on...

Since the changes on the site my avatar shows in a small block on top of my avatar and on top of the user I reply to. Why? I probably hit the wrong thing while exploring the changes but I don’t know how to turn it off. Does it happen to everyone or just me? If just me please make it stop😆

So I read a tech post a few days ago discussing a rear diff rebuild. There was a lot of discussion about adding or not adding a drain plug. I happened to be under my Bronco today and noticed I have a drain plug on my rear housing. Question…..would this mean the PO added this or did some years...

Hey guys. Just rebuilt my 2100 which has both the exhaust hot air tube and electric ‘assist' terminal. Engine is running great now with the fresh carb and elimination of a couple of vacuum leaks from the decommissioned egr system. Anyway I'm looking for clarity on both where the wire to the...

The 302 in my ‘77 came from an early mustang. I have to change the location of the timing marks using a new stick on timing tape and a new pointer. You can’t see the original pointer and marks that were on the passenger side down low on the mustang. Anyhow I’ve verified mechanical TDC zero at...

Ok all. I’ve had ford trucks and broncos since the early 70’s. I have never experienced a horn failure. The PO had added an additional horn with a jumper wire from the original. Neither were functional when I bought it because of issues with the column and the wrong steering wheel. Made all...

Found some rust issues the PO had covered up along the body section that the hood hinges bolt to. The metal section where the hinges bolt on are solid but there is surface rust and some deeper pitting all the way across that area. I need to remove the hood to address the rust issue the right...

I just scored a free early 70s 2bbl that still has the ID tag on it. I believe it is a 2100 but don’t know how to decipher the tag info. What does the tag say?

From a previous thread I started that covered multiple issues including the timing pointer I thought it best to start a new thread to share some things I learned. I’m sure I’m not the only one that inherited a Mustang engine when they bought their Bronco. I couldn’t see the pointer original to...

I have worked through several issues recently and hopefully at my last. My engine will fire up immediately with a peddle pump and a quick rotation of the starter. Seems to be running smooth at first but as it warms up starts to ‘lope’ like a cam while at idle. Almost sounds like it will die but...

Well took my Bronco outta storage couple weeks ago and been working on it ever sense. This issue actually started prior to my Coil/Duraspark thread. A couple weeks ago I was running the engine in the driveway, checking fluids, temps etc. After several minutes the engine started running rough and...

Weird week full of weird problems. Took care of a few issues the past few days and had the 77 302 stock running nice 2 days ago. Changed to bikini top today to go for a ride and no start. This engine has always started on the 2nd or 3rd turnover. Pulled a plug and checked for spark, no spark...

Ok guys, looking for some answers for my fuel switch. Before I get too deep let me say I know the aux tank is empty and the main is full. The next thing is I will upload a schematic showing where and which wires are connected. If you read my steering column thread you will know the PO had a...

If this one goes thru I’ll add the rest. You guys from Mississippi may have seen this machine if you traveled hwy 49 between Yazoo and Jackson.

Just paid for 24 months. Don’t know that I’ll use all the extra features but worth every cent to access all the information available. And as a bonus I won’t have ‘newbie’ under my name ;D

Started rebuilding my 77 A/T steering column and undoing all the jackleg crap the PO did when he pulled it for painting. My biggest problem was he put the spring/plunger assembly for the shift lever in so unbelievably wrong I can’t believe he got it back together and that it even shifted. There...
