Hi All,
A few questions....1974 Bronco Uncut all original and pristine condition. 26,900 original miles on all original equipment.
I am in Las Vegas and its hot.....
1. The battery was replaced a week ago, the alternator replaced 1 day ago...alternator still does not charge the battery. Voltage regulator? I cant think of anything else in the loop it could be.
2. Engine knocking (idled for awhile in 107 degree heat) then drove about 5 miles then idled in garage...knocking still there and lots of whiteish blue smoke at idle. Today no smoke or knocking.
3. Headlights...they turn on fine, play with the knob by jiggling it and the dash lights will come on. Hit the floor hi beam switch they come on....when hit the floor switch again to turn off hi beams the low beams dont come on....then you play back in forth with dash swich and hi beam floor switch and you can get them back on.
This is a gorgeous showroom truck and I dont want it to caput! any help appreciated......
I have owned it 1 month...I asusme it sat quite awhile before that in a climate controlled garage though (thank God)
