Anyone near Columbus, Ohio?

[Leos73EB]

You guys may or may not believe this, but I am the new proud owner of "Lonestar's" (Eddie in TX) 73 EB. I've got to admit, this EB's got my blood boilin' to get back offroad again. ;D ;D

Any way, I was hoping to find an EB fanatic around the Cols., OH area that could "maybe," "possibly," come over and help me out with this thing. There's wires everywhere, and from what I can see a pretty fresh 5.0 EFI'd engine in it. Lonestar seems to be a pretty busy guy these days, and I haven't been able to get a hold of him to ask him what he thinks I need to do to get this thing purring.

I'm not really concerned with the brake work that needs to be done. I'm more concerned with making sure the gas gets to the engine and the engine is wired up correctly. It's got a brand new Ron Francis wiring harness, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of the diagrams I have. It looks like most of it is hooked up, but not all of it. All in all, Lonestar got rid of a GREAT rig, but I'm confused about all of this. I'm an ex-J##Per, so this is all new to me.

Thanks a mill, and I'll have beer! ;D

I live about an hour north of you on I-71..A little hick town called Ashland (exit 186)...I can help you with yours, but it will take me some time, as I have ALOT of work to do to mine...I also plan on starting a club, Mid-Ohio Classic Bronco's...If interested, PM me...

Oh yeah! I think I know where Ashland is. I've got a friend up there. That's up by Mansfield, right?

I actually live in London, OH, but I stated Columbus since it's pretty close, and I work out in Dublin. I would love to join a club, and that's a great idea!

PMing you now.

I am a few hours away in Indy. I havent taken on the EFI challenge yet, but would like to hook up some time if you guys will be wheeling west of Columbus.

I'm a couple of hours north of Columbus, near Akron. Don't get down there much but I will be at the fairgrounds this coming weekend for the Ford parts swap meet. Helping a friend sell a bunch of Mustang parts. There should be some Bronco guys at the swap meet. Ed Stalnaker is usually there from WV and he has been in these things for years. He usually brings one or two EB's to the car corral. I'm sure he could answer a lot of your questions, and much better than I could.

....I'm in Gahanna, near the airport. Looks like about 37 miles away by Delorme map.

I have experience wiring but not with EFI. If I can be of any assistant, let me know.

I'm in Canal Winchester 10 miles from Columbus. I just picked up an EB myself from Texas a couple of weeks ago NO RUST!! I won't be able to help you much with wiring but I'm close enough that we could help each other every now and then. Then...test them out!!

You got it...My bronco is in Lucas right now, just below Mansfield...

I bought my 66 halfcab from a dealer that bought it from Ed Stalnaker at one of the swap meets, very solid...I'm restoring this one back to stock...

It's good to know that there's some EB owners all around me.

I think Lonestar and I worked out all the miniscule details on what I need to do to get the thing purring. He contacted me yesterday morning.
