Figured it out for a fb link. I don’t want to get underneath the timing cover if I can help it but it looks like I’m going to have to.
I don't understand. Why would you open up the timing cover?
You installed a late model, 4 bolt damper on your early model 3 bolt Bronco. Your 4 bolt damper is looking for a water pump with the water inlet on the driver's side, and the timing pointer on the passenger side.
The Bronco 3 bolt damper is looking for a water pump with a radiator inlet on the passenger side, and the timing pointer on the driver's side.
Even though the Bronco (and the Econoline van) used the 3 bolt damper until 1977...the generally accepted nomenclature is that the 3 bolt damper is 1969 and older, and the 4 bolt is 1970 and up. (Because that's when Ford decided to move all of the water inlets on the passenger car line to the "other" side. They also gave priority to the power steering pump at that time. So the primary belt runs the crankshaft, water pump, and power steering. The secondary belt runs the alternator. It's one of the more dumb things that Ford ever did, because it made pulleys impossible to find and totally mismatched after 1970.
Your timing pointer is pointing to about the 2:00 position, which is correct for a SBF 3 bolt damper. Here's a pic of a Bronco one.
You can just mark it and time if from there...but you will never find Ford pulleys to fit it.
