Hey Guys,
So driving home last night on the highway and my bronco backfired and died. I could not get it to fire back up. Cranks fine, getting fuel. So i had it towed back and pulled the distributor cap and could freely spin the rotor. I though i broke the distributor shaft or roll pin for the gear. I look in down the distributor hole int he block and see the teeth on my camshaft worn/ sheered off.
So now i don't want to just throw another cam in as obviously all those bits and pieces are in the engine somewhere.
can anyone suggest a good place in LA that i can take this truck to. It is a 1976 bronco., 351 carb, c4 auto, no ac no ps. easy as can be to pull and swap.. i am thinking of just getting a 408 and dropping it in.
any suggestions would be great!
thanks ahead of time!!!!!
