Interesting. So you went with a higher CFM?

Thanks to both of you. My problem is I have only 2 weeks to get everything in dependable shape before a very important workshop which requires my Bronco. I might just replace the gaskets above and below the carb body then look into a carburetor switch afterwards. I should point out that I have...

I've been running a Holley 4412 2barrel (2300 series, with smaller jets for economy) since 1972 when I purchased the vehicle. I've been through 2 of those carbs ever since. Recently I had some sporadic issues that nobody could troubleshoot. The Holley tech strongly recommends the 7448 which is a...

Southern California. I'll give them a call!

Need to replace portions of my brake lines in my 1970 Bronco with Dana 30 front end, drum brakes all around. Mainly the distribution block to the master cylinder, and the lines connecting to the block. Can anyone recommend a good source for this, where I don't have to but the whole $400 set and...

Hey Steve, thank you! I'll give him a call and see if he can take a look at it. I wish it was closer to me though :(

Yes they did. Santa Monica. I need a capable mechanic who knows how to repair king pins very soon. I have an important workshop to lead in late September. Any tips? I'm a 71 yo male in Orange County, CA and would love to do it myself but I have essential tremor which makes certain tasks 10 times...

I'm also in Orange County and have a 1970 Bronco. I'm in urgent need of having my Dana 30 king pins and seals as well as new front brake lines installed. Have you had any luck finding anyone in the area? At first I thought ASC was going to be a great choice but they stopped returning my phone...

Looking for a knowledgable Bronco mechanic in Orange County, Calif. I have a 1970 and need my king pins and Dana 30 seals rebuilt.

Here's another video showin that matal clip placed sideways. Maybe this is better. He isn't using a spring.

Thank you!!! I searched all over and couldn't find this. Mine did not have a spring at the end of the shaft, Now I see where the little clip goes - at the end of the shaft. Probably don't need the spring. I imagine the clip pushed the shaft up just enough that a spring isn't needed. I found it...

Does anyone have a suggestion? I don't know where this black clip goes, somewhere inside the bell coupling. I read somewhere that it's an "anti-pivot clip" (or similar). The pic shows it in the middle to the left of the boot. Apparently the bell coupling that I removed did not have it, but my...

I don't know where this black clip goes, somewhere inside the bell coupling. I read somewhere that it's an "anti-pivot clip" (or similar). The pic shows it in the middle to the left of the boot. Apparently the bell coupling that I removed did not have it, but my column was rebuilt about 6 years...

Had a mechanic who is very knowledgable with older vehicles test drive my Bronco today (with the first box I got from Buyautoparts installed). He immediately said something is wrong. The new tie rod and drag link appear to be OK. So I'll put the second box that Buyautoparts sent me this coming...

What kind of grease do rebuilders fill these boxes with? I have 2 manual boxes sent to me for comparison. Before I installed the first one, we tipped it upside/down with the filler plug removed and nothing poured out. If it was filled with 90 weight oil, per the Bronco manual's suggestion, I...

Thanks! I'll try adjusting it again.

Thanks for the info. I called the supplier - Buyautoparts and told him about the situation. He will send me a replacement and (hopefully) check it thoroughly before sending. He kept saying that it takes a long time for manual boxes to loosen up but this is rediculous. I can barely steer the...

Is that the screw adjustment on top of the box? I did that, no difference. I'll look into how to adjust the preload if that's different from the top adjustment screw. The person at buyautoparts basically told me the boxes are "ready to installl) and filled with grease - nothing pours out when...

Fluffybunny, do you still have that good manual steering box from your 1970? I just got a rebuilt one from buyautoparts.com and it's extremely tight. My old box, which leaks and has some play, can easily be turned with my fingers when out of the vehicle. The new (reman) one needs a wrench with...
