1972-73 owners-mind your P's and Q's

What a bunch of Bronco geeks. Ha. Love it. ;D

Here's mine, Viper. P055 04/72 Door Tag
Body stamp on the front firewall is "A 32072"
I've got an ambient temp door ringer too.
Most likely a T-shift, but truck had a '73 C4 and J-shift 20 when I got her long ago. Was definitely a manual truck though as I had a three speed column.
Cali DSO. I have dual tanks and regular 3 tube manual valve. No goofy return carb 6 tube switcher.
No dash light bars.
Interestingly came with Stroppe Indy's and front and rear dual shock mounts. Rancho coils and dry rotted BFGs that the dude drove all the way back from Cali to Chicago.
No stock Autolite carb at the time. Holley 4412.

Andrew, does "dual fuel" refer to tanks or fuel return line?

Viperwolf1: my rig has dual fuel tanks and the fuel return line.

We're making some headway now.

OaklandBronco's rig is a fuel return truck... What I mean by dual fuel. Tho it may have been return only, the line left poorly plugged, and next to dr side exhaust, by a PO of Oaklands Bronco, was FULL of fuel and likely the cause of it's little incident.

This build date is off the Marti report - titled as a 73

And I should have added - PS Auto trans - has light bar but not amb temp

I don't know how to look for fuel return...what does it look like? Pic?

I was looking at the chart, and you can add PS and light bars to your notes on my rig (Q52289).

Hopefully someone will post some pics.

Does this link help clear up the fuel return system?

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.

Bingo! Stingray's Pics 4,5,6 show exactly what I had on my 73'. PO must have changed out the fuel tank selector from a 6 port to a 3 port.

That is looking great. For R60108 you can add it has factory power steering, manual transmission and the light bar. I don't think it has the temp or return but can you clarify what those are exactly please. Thanks.

 

[Viperwolf1]

Fuel return line pics, see post #113.

Ambient temp sensor, see post #93-94.
