After grenadeing my c4 once installing my 347 I found a leak in my new rebuild!

Have to pull it but taking it around town for a few runs before...Old Broncos never die, they just go faster! the charger next to me got a jump while I was getting my phone ready but after a late start never saw him again...Merry Christmas!

Nice. Your blinker was on and I was hoping you weren't gonna take a left at that speed :cry::cool:

Nope...had to let the charger know I was coming over to make the left....in my 50s and been driving these thing since 17. Driven lots of muscle cars and nothing like an early bronco for me...always could make power but brakes and suspension have made huge differences since I was a kid.

I remember a day, many years ago when I had a C4 that didn’t leak..... but that was only one day, and it was many years ago......

Mine seems to leak more when it's cold and stored for the winter, when it gets driven regularly and warm out not so much.

The only twoC4 leak problems, I've had for this Bronco's entire life, were easy to fix.
The only time a shop worked on it, they didn't tighten the tranny to adapter bolts completly. It leaked there until I got under and tightened them up.
The other time it was just the o-ring on the shift shaft.

I can see from the video what may be causing the c4 to leak. That 347 is wringing it out pretty tight! That looks like a sleeper too and I like it!
