Took my 1971 EB out on its first test drive in 20 years! Everything went great, especially the Edelbrock Proflo 4 system performed flawlessly with just a default mapping. I couldn't be happier with all of the upgrades that I made, but I still have a thousand little details to attend to. 😬

Nice! I know there's till a ton of work to do, but getting it back on the road is a huge step. It goes much faster from here!

Yes sir, it went off the road for upgrades shortly after you and I went Wheeling outside Rock Springs decades ago. That trip convinced me I needed some more mods but unfortunately life got in the way and those mods never got completed.
It feels really great to be back on the road again!

Congrats! Keep moving forward - things seemed to go quicker for me once I got my Bronco mobile again. I'm glad to see someone else take their time with a project Bronco(17 years for me)

I have a long neglected build thread on here someplace, I will update it with photos once it's out of the garage!

Congratulations! Very few feelings better than getting it back on the road - that's for sure!

It’s nice to make progress. I’ve had my 76 on the road for about two years and every time I work on it I tell my wife I gotta go for a test drive For about 25 miles
