    Lost Turn Signals, Brake Lights and Hazards

    As stated in the title. I found a blown fuse and replaced it which blew again immediately when testing turn signals. Replaced the fuse again and tested things one at a time. Hazards with key off – swapped flashers and tired a known good one from the parts bin. They didn’t function and the fuse...

    Sniper Switched 12V Source from Voltage Regulator

    I'm in search of a more reliable switched 12V source for my Sniper EFI. It needs to be "clean source" that is hot in run and crank. Wasn't one of the original voltage regulator wires a good source? I have the seabiscuit diagrams which show yellow, green/red, orange, and black/red. I removed the...

    Grant Wheel Adapter and Canceling Cam

    I'm trying to fix a canceling cam issue that has been present for a while. The instructions for the Grant adapter (from Tom's) have you trim the two tabs on the canceling cam. Have any of you had to slide this cam slightly forward on the hub/adapter plate to have good contact with the turn...

    Manifold Vacuum Advance with Sniper EFI Progressive Linkage

    I want to install the progressive throttle linkage on my Sniper system. This renders the ported vacuum source useless since Holley put it in the secondaries. I can run manifold vacuum to the distributor but have read conflicting comments on doing so with my DUI HEI-style distributor. I found one...

    New Wiper Motor Very Slow.

    Just installed the Tom’s aftermarket wiper motor. All functions work fine but it is significantly slower than the oem motor on all settings. I followed their wiring diagram since the wires locations are different than stock. Tested w vehicle running also to ensure proper voltage. Anyone else...

    Vent Window and Felt Channels

    Does the vent window need to be removed to install the single felt piece that does the top and rear of the door? The overhead felt piece two prongs that look like they may interfere.

    Backspacing Deep Thoughts

    Current wheels are 17x9.5 with 3.50” backspace (aprox. -44 offset). Will a 9” wide wheel with 4.5” backspace (-12 mm offset) be inset .75” further? I’m removing a ¼” since the new wheel is .5” narrower overall. I have duff disk knuckles which don’t flare out like 76-77 broncos and f150. The WH...

    Parking Brake Spreader Retainer

    Factory 74 rear drum brakes. Found one side missing the retainer that the spreader bar spring rests against on the forward end the the retainer bar. Are they critical? Foud them at Tom’s and WH. WH says 66-68 though...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Reading/Test

    Is there an ohms reading that can help identify a bad gauge? My oil pressure sits near 70 at idle. I have one of the replacement gauges for the oem cluster. Installed in the cluster it reads 14.9 ohms. I’m running a solid state IVR and have steady 5 volts at the sender wire connection. I’ve...

    74 Steering Joint Taper

    Is the 74 OEM tie rod joint taper the same as 1/2 ton GM joints? I bought some adapter bushings that weren't machined deep enough. It would likely be cheaper and easier to find a new adapter bushing than purchase a reamer and deal with the adapters I have.

    Broken Leaf Spring Keeper from Shipping

    Just received some new leafs for my Bronco and found one of the keepers loose and out of place. The rivet was knocked out of the hole on the bottom leaf. That hole appears slightly ovaled now too from the UPS hit. Are these normally just a press fit or is it an actual hot rivet?

    Voltage Regulator Delete

    Looking at cleaning up some wiring under the hood on my 74. I've already switched to a 3G alternator. Can that regulator be removed and its associated wires? My diagram shows a black/red, orange, green/red and a yellow wire coming off it.

    Prop Valve Warning Light Wiring

    I have an aftermarket CPP brass disk/drum prop valves with a one wire connection. It's been years since I messed with the OEM distribution/h-block wires but I seem to recall a two post connection there. (74 Bronco). I only have one wire down there currently so do I just need to run a splice so I...

    WH Clydesdale TRO Steering Stabilizer

    Anyone have photos of a steering stabilizer setup they are running with the Clydesdale steering in TRO form? I finally got it all installed and the drag link seems way too close to the engine crossmember to fit anything. I'm running OEM 74 power steering pitman arm.

    OE Track Bar Bolt Removal

    Is the axle side bold tack welded in multiple places? Trying to figure out how to get this bolt out and I'm going cross-eyed trying to figure out where to cut/grind. Mines a 74 if it matters.

    76-77 Metal Outer Wheel Bearing Seal?

    Is there a metal seal that goes over the outside edge of the outer wheel bearing? Almost looks like a stubby race without any taper. I haven't done the bearings in a long time. Don't recall seeing this in some other d44 applications. Best I can tell is it shields the rollers slightly if they...

    F150 Steering Linkage

    I'm ditching my heim steering and want to swap out the associated linkage. Running 37s and have duff disk brake knuckles with 3/4" holes straight through. I'm tie rod over and interested in the f150 stuff. How are others dealing with the width? I see WH has the full size parts available. That...

    Moog Problem Solver Ball Joints new Knuckles

    I'm shopping ball joints that will be installed in new knuckles. Narrowed it down to blue boot AC Delcos and Moogs (MOOG-K8194T & MOOG-K8195T). Some of you have mentioned the Moogs are oversized for knuckles that have seen some R&R before. Is this true or are they just knurled like others? I...

    Gauge Cluster Lights

    (74, OEM Harness & Cluster) Replaced my cluster voltage regulator, temp gauge and fuel gauge today. Got it all back together and my cluster illumination lights aren't working. Hazards, turn signals and high beam indicator bulbs are functioning, just not the three bulbs with blue/red wires...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    I'm trying to solve a high pressure reading on the stock oil pressure gauge. Been through two BWD units from Oreilys and one Duralast (usa) from Autozone. I think something else is going on. The oil pump was changed not that long ago. I used a standard pressure/flow Melling pump. Probably...
