I have been scouring the internet trying to find an used OEM antenna that doesn't have a bent mast but have fallen short. So, my question is if I go aftermarket is the best route to take the one from Tom's OR have other's used other aftermarket that will fit our factory fender hole that can...

Looking to upgrade from my factory 9" to get something with a locker or posi-trac & hopefully disc brakes but don't know what other Ford 1. Vehicles/Years & 2. Size rear ends will be a direct fit? Thanks

Yeah, very thankful that it occurred when it did! Thanks again!

Thanks to both of you. I found a wire going to the positive connector of the starter solenoid that had been spliced several times & appeared to be frayed. I discarded the old splice & an inch or so of wiring on each side of it http://www.supermotors.net/registry/27354/85051-2 . I then put a...

The "red" wire could have been to the brake lights. All I know is that it had power to it without the key in the ignition which let me know that by connecting to it I would have constant power to the lighter.... Thanks for the wiring diagram. I will check it out but in the past, even the '72...

Thanks. I will check out. First off, everything obviously went dead simultaneously upon splicing the wire so, I think it was immediately. After the splice connection I pushed the lighter in & nothing. Then turned on the dome light (nothing), then wipers (nothing) then tried to start (nothing). I...

I wanted to add an OEM cigar lighter to my '73 Bronco Ranger dash. I reviewed the dash set-up with a factory cigar lighter to determine where to place it on the dash. Drilled a 7/8" hole & inserted it with no issues. In order to keep it on continuously I Connected a 14 gauge wire w/a built in...

The carb is a newly reman. & the gasket is brand new & I don't feel any type of leak. Thanks, Dean

Tom, Thanks for trying to assist with the vacuum diagrams but neither look like my '73 with stock 302 with auto tranny. What year is the 1st diagram of (not the one that states it is a 460)? There sure look like a lot more valves on it than are on mine. Thanks, Dean

Can you be a little more specific (ex., air horn on your breather (?) Tom, Thanks for your assistance. Dean

The last two posts that were suppose to include the diagrams did not show up. Can you try to re-send them? Thanks, Dean

Charlie,I have created a new photo folder http://www.supermotors.net/registry/27354/84927 As you can see in the pics I sent a link to, I have one hose going to the tranny from the metal rectangular vacuum manifold bolted to the engine but the other hose is capped off with a screw in it and...

Charlie, Thanks. However, in your initial thread you stated mine might be geared high but in your 2nd post you stated that you originally stated that mine might be geared low. All I know is that it is all factory as the only thing that's been altered is a 2-1/2" lift in the rear. Is there...

Fellro, I capped off the other lines on the EGR too.

Charlie & Fellro, I just went out to inspect the lines to the tranny & added a few more pics to the link added to last post that contain the two lines from the rectangular metal box that has several lines running from it. The outer/upper line goes from the driver's side of the box down...

Charlie, I apologize for the thread post not being broken into paragraphs. I had them indented but when I submitted it put it all together. I am going to add again by adding lines of dead space between paragraphs. Hopefully, that'll work.My '73 Bronco is currently getting 6 mpg & the auto...

My '73 Bronco is currently getting 6 mpg & the auto. tranny is not shifting correctly. It seems to be running way too rich. This morning I could smell pure gas when standing beside it running as well as when raising the hood but no leaks! This weekend we just replaced the dizzy, points (After...

IT RUNS! IT RUNS! IT RUNS! I wanted to update the thread since we last worked on the Bronco Friday and got it running! The new points were burnt! Now it is running but it seems to only be getting about 6 miles to the gallon and I have no idea why. When putting into drive it seems to shift into...

CBaker, Balancer is tight. I'm kinda' leaning towards wiring too. Waiting on a mechanic buddy to come over now to check. However, vapor lock? Could that be a problem based on my symptoms? I mean, even pouring gas or SeaFoam into carb doesn't change anything.

Hi guys, I checked numerous posts relative to starting issues, timing gears & chain, dizzy's,, ignition issues, starter solenoid, etc... but found nothing to answer my issues so here goes: It had been sitting since '97. Put new rear tank,, fuel sending unit & gauge & fuel pump on, put a little...
