I've made a lot of progress on my Bronco over the last year. Most importantly, I installed EFI and actually got it running! Unfortunatly, I rushed the install along and it was kind of a mess. I did make the EB roundup near Florence AZ last spring, but I wasn't satisfied with the mess of wires under the hood and in the cab.
Sometime in July I removed the dashboard with the best of intentions of cleaning things up, and promptly got busy with other stuff. My poor old EB sat in the back corner of a cinder mine for 5 months without a thought.
On Thanksgiving night (about 2:00 A.M., 15 degrees in Flagstaff) I woke with a start wondering if the EB had real antifreeze in it, or just water. The very next morning I was at work (the cinder mine)draining the cooling system (no damage) when my boss came around and said "why don't you put it in the shop for the weekend" so I did.
This is a GREAT shop! Every Snap-On tool you could imagine, Plasma cutters, wire-feed, heli-arc, etc. Anyway, instead of just winterizing the EB, I got ambitious and did all of the work I have been avoiding for 5 months, in one day. I even reversed the speaker and glove box on the dash, and had my good friend weld it in (I can weld, but his welds hardly needed any grinding).
It is amazing what can be done given the opportunity.
Work on your Bronco, it feels good!
