Bronco No Start

[95F350XL]

What the hell? So last night I decided to tighten up the starter, remove all the air tubes, and change plugs and wires. I was removing some wires from the starter solonoid and managed to breakthe posts off of it. So got a new one this mornin and when I went to start it clunk. WTF? So then I go back and was need a new one this is defective as it started before all the work. Got a new one, threw in the starter I got yesterday and clunk no start. So then im like humm battery bad, put jumper cables on it. I hear the starter sounds like its grinding, cant put the old on in as the bolt snapped in the head. If I was at work I could get it out but at home I have no tools. Does anyone have a pic of the connections at the solonoid on the fender, Im sure I put all the little ones in the right spot.

I have a few 'extra' wires for my own purposes, but you can at least see where the stock ones fit.

What are we working on?
You say BRONCO so it is not the 95 F350.

Yea thats how I have it. Caus I looked on my truck to be sure, but the bronk has alot more then the truck. So 1 side is battery, and the other goes to the starter. What the heck, ill have to pull the wire off the starter and clean that up and see if it makes a difference. I shouldnt have messed with it.

[95F350XL]

Fixed it

Yea so I cleaned all the terminals and slapped it back together and vrooooom. So I guess when I tampered with it and disturbed the connections.
So here are some pics of the bronk with the exhaust finished.

On another note I picked some parts up for it yesteday, long tubes, starter, alt, tailgate and glass for it. 200 bucks.

Also Pile of emisions stuff.

[Ridgerunner]

Is that a Lightning style exhaust? Do you have a picture of the whole system?

 

[95F350XL]

I made it my self. Yea here are some pics.
I started by cuttin the 1st cat off to give me room and 3" instead of 2.5" plus what do you need 2 cats for?

Laid out how I figured id make it

Up in the bronk

 

[Ridgerunner]

Thanks for the pictures. I need a cat back for my truck and I wanted a Lightning style. Where did you order your exhaust parts?

 

[95F350XL]

All came from autozone/pepboys, some of the 90*s were from my trucks emission exhaust.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Cool Thanks Now I can do my own exhaust.

 

[95F350XL]

Just mock it all up before you weld/clamp it together.

 

[Ridgerunner]

I will I have a 93 F150 SC Long bed

 

[95F350XL]

I donno how tight ur emissions are but if you take that 2nd cat off you might not pass inspection, I had a tuff time to get the bronk through. If you leave the 2nd cat u will have to do 2.5 exhaust instead of 3"

 

[Ridgerunner]

I have to leave it for now we don't have a sniffer test for 95 and below. When I put headers on then it will have to be one cat for each side. It's more a visual inspection than anything else,it has to be there whether it works or not.
