Hey, starting to work on a Bronco that my Dad and I picked up and had a few questions for you guys with experience.

Motor is Ford 170 CI 6cyl.
1 Spark Plugs (a) Type? (b) Plug Gap?
2 Ignition Points (a) Gap? (b) dwell angle?
3 Compressio(a) min/max?
4 King pin removal/ replacement instructions?

Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!! Happy New Year!!

There are some good I6 guys on here but for questions 1-3 you can also go to fordsix.com they are ford six guys and very helpful. I think they have a section on the site called inline specs or data something like that. Would answer these questions. Good luck.

Get yourself a manual to use and keep in Bronco.

Also get the Ford six performance manual if you keep the six.
