Dongle will be here tomorrow. It was a four bolt day, got rear calipers and new pads installed on my Currie housing rear end. Have to figure out brake lines to the center hose, it is already run beyond that.Garry has been super helpful.

Still not seeing crank sensor. Not fire, no fuel. Going to stick another PCM in it, the one I got is suspect.

Fighting through Efi issues. Cleaned injectors but still not sure if they are squirting fuel. The firing issues were fixed with a temporary lead from s terminal to diode. Slow going, got some bigger projects going on that require my attention. I need to get past this Efi hold up to get to body work. I ain’t quitting, just making really slow progress. Learning a lot about Efi.

Working on rear disc while I wait on injectors to come back. Slacking, but less than usual lol. I had to get a rebuilt title for a vehicle for my son and family, returning the UK after 3 years. Still have some work to do on it.

Injectors were the final piece, Mr. Injector cleaned and serviced them . Only two were flowing. cross posting this video just to show perseverance and the support of this community will get you there. Engine has something rattling, but we will get that figured out next. This has held me up due to several self inflicted ”wounds”. My goal is to finish running gear before placing body back on frame and I am really close. thanks to all for your continued support of this community of hobbyists/enthusiasts.

Torque convertor bolts were not tight. Someone forgot to tighten them……

I am sure that will reflect on that person's end of the year evaluation....

Sounded familiar for a reason. One we won't need to discuss

It happens to slackers

So the motor sitting on the floor goes to the machine shop tomorrow. The current engine has a knock, probably related to the stuck injector. Will work on the rear brakes this week. In my mind, still going forward, just a lot slower than I like or want. Good news is the shop now has HVAC, so I am able to work in the afternoons when it is 100/100 (temp/humidity) or it seems to be….

Been there and done that .

Shock mounts moved to accommodate rear disc. Brakes are fully plumbed except for master cylinder. Waiting on engine to finish running gear. Rotisserie arrived Friday at friends business, will get it picked up tomorrow. I have questions on driveshafts but will post in a separate thread. Bodywork will start in August, need to order supplies and pick a color. Most projects on hold or moved to back burner, so I can stay focused on Bronco.

Still waiting on short block, so we pulled the bent rod and waiting on head bolts (Tuesday). The boss for screw that holds fuel rail busted out, see intake picture, so it had to come off anyhow. I will have it running correctly next week. Waiting on some room to clear up in my buddy's shop so we can assemble rotisserie.

Tasker, I got this.
