Took it for a spin today and there is still water in the tank but soooo much better than it has been. Going to drain and maybe drop the tank tomorrow and clean the carb.

thanks;D
found out yesterday my carb is shot has a bad vaccume leak on the side

 

[orangecrush4u]

Drove it around this morning and brought it to winter storage, has some new rust since its been sitting outside. Going to see if I can make a set of RRC seats work in the truck..

 

[orangecrush4u]

Well I sucked it up last week and ordered a new carb put it on and it was worse... Fast forward three factors plaid into it running like crap.. The carb having a bad vaccume leak being old and worn, the timing being off cause of the vaccume leak and last but not least a bad fuel pump. Just ordered that and it should be in tomorrow.

 

[orangecrush4u]

Well after four fuel pumps... Don't ask why....wrong fittings and leaks and who knows what else... It runs....at actually purrs. I know I have really kinda lost the bronco spirt and it feels good to drive it but it still needs soo much more and time plays a factor in that. I'm going to play with it a little not spend much money cause the wedding is comming up soon and maybe this time next year the fuel injection and the 4speed automatic will hapoen

Thanks ran....;D But after a casual cruise I decided to tear it up and it broke up again... Dead spot and loss of fuel pressure. Well I think I found the problem.. I will update tomorrow happy or not..

 

[orangecrush4u]

Well the problem is still not solved.... So I'm down to timing being off or my coil breaking up stay tuned...

 

[tasker]

Thanks... I'm taking my time, next week I will be going over it with a friend to see if I overlooked something..

 

[orangecrush4u]

Didn't get a chance to mess around with it too much but I did get it inspected... Only 5 months over do... Might try another route tomorrow after work.

 

[orangecrush4u]

Well after work today I brought the truck over to my buddies we double checked the timing which was off a little but was causing the problem the whole time was my crappy edelbrock foam filter was getting sucked into the carb

 

[orangecrush4u]

I ripped it around the island this morn and it was fun.... Soooo much to still do..

 

[tasker]

[orangecrush4u]

Decided to pull the truck out of the barn its been over a year and had the dust on it to prove it.. Put some gas in it got it inspected and renewed the registration.. Still need to get a good aircleaner:/
