The crickets are deafening.

I like how you plan ahead and did the accumulator/filter.. I could learn from this. I never think ahead.. My wife tells me this all the time. I have several new parts that I will probably never use as I changed direction and plan. You have done a lot of great upgrades. This thing will be TOUGH.

I don't like doing things twice, hence the mounting of it. I am putting the high pressure pump on the firewall and my return will plumb into the accumulator. There has been speculation that this will purn up the carter p4070 in back but I doubt it. I still have a long road ahead before the EFI motor gets dropped in anyways.

Sheet metal was very clean minus a questionable cowl patch. Paint was nice but he had coated the entire engine bay and underside with flat black paint %)

I think you are supposed to check for those with a lighter.

I felt a little vibration on the way to work yesterday, it was worse last night. I wonder what it is? Good thing I keep extra parts laying around. I have to admit I like DD'ing the bronco but it has it's drawbacks.

I am dying!!!!! My 69 is my daily driver, no exceptions and it is sooooo hot! it's 110 today what is it up there? still though the hottest the bronco gets is 210, then she goes back down to 190 and then hovers at 198-200.

 

[br0nc0xrapt0r]

Just looked at the calendar, I will get there on the 18th also, the time however depends.

Small update.

 

[br0nc0xrapt0r]

Just came in from cleaning up the wires, I am redoing a bunch of old crap and trying to get some good wires set up for the new HEI dist. I have two right now to choose from. The first is the Exciter for the Alt and the second is the coil wire that used to run to the resistor when it was points. Both put out a real healthy 12 volts. I am leaning towards the old resistor wire since it is roughly 12 gauge and has no other load where as the exciter wire needs to trip the alt so it charges. Meanwhile I need to run the wire from the "I" terminal to the coil also as it provides power while cranking whereas the other wires only provide power while the key is on the "on" position.

Make sense?

All this thing needs is a clutch, and dizzy, and it's ready to go in. Still up in the air about the power steering pump. I could run the stock one from the Cobra or build a custom setup to run a Saginaw. Saginaw is in the future but would require a small can and a remote res from PSC.

 

[br0nc0xrapt0r]

To do list:

Hook up clutch and drop in motor, today

Send shocks off to bistien for rebuild, tomorrow?

Setup PS pump, need pulley for serp belt and 95 cobra pump.

Setup belts and fan

Start engine ;D

Build H1 wheel and spare

Build armor

Build tire rack

All this in 34 days!!!!

Arrrgh... Hopefully not cutting it too close brother.. I got faith in ya..

Skiddy ain't come over to help yet, bhaha.. well Chad would be the one you'd probably want helping.. ;D

 

[br0nc0xrapt0r]

I have a feeling it could be running by tonight if I had identified the distributor problem earlier. Aside from the motor the rest is all pretty trivial stuff. Once she is running she will be "ready" to go.
