So I changed a bunch of ignition stuff and was doing so troubleshooting and in the process got a HUGE backfire through the carb. It was easily as loud as a shotgun blast and left me ears ringing for a couple of hours. Can this ruin the carb? I'm Asking because I think I've sorted everything out...

I have searched and have found some information but not all I'll need for this small job. I wondered if anyone knew for certain what fittings I'd need. The idea is to eliminate the hose clamps and replace the old braided hose with -6an fittings and new braided line. I know its not necessary! I...

I just got a new 23 gal from toms and I need to program my fuel gauge to tell it what sender to look for. I programed to the old ford one 10-73ohms and it reads full even with 1/4 tank. I have several other choices. Guess the thing to do is fill'er up and then see what ohm reading I've got and...

so I've been scrubbing tirelessly on the bottom of the truck and have finally gotten most everything down to bare metal. My original plan was to use the KBS product to treat and paint the bottom of the floor pans and chassis a satin black. After more thought i entertained the idea of using a...

UPDATED LIST: Sorry for the unreturned PM's Been really busy and replied only to text messages and local guys first. I updated the list below: I've got a ton of stuff to get rid of and I was planning on taking it all to super cel in April. But if there are some local folks interested in...

I saw a thread like this from a while back in my search but it sort of fizzled without pics being posted. Post em up folks! I've got dark shadow metalic (dark charcoal) on the body but considering argent for the top.

I finally bought a diversion 180 and have been welding a cart for my MIG and TIG machines (with a spot for a plasma one day). I built the cart both because I need a proper cart and also to see if i can get the hang of a TIG machine prior to working on a real project that actually matters. Things...

So in tracking down my high temp issues it has come to light that I might actually have the incorrect water pump. I bought it this way and trying to get this sorted out before super celebration - any help is greatly appreciated. Questions: 1. How can I ID this block? I saw some casting number on...

I have a champion radiator with top hose on driver and bottom hose on pass. the OEM part looks good for the upper hose and fits great. The parts store did not have the lower but all the images I can find of the lower don't even look close. Radiator hook up is on lower pass side and water pump...

I bought my truck with these wheels and tires on there. They were brand new then. I parked the truck in my shop for about 1.5 years (wheels were not always sitting in same place - no flat spots) and painted the truck in this time. The tires might have 300 miles on them and are in great shape...

while removing my sending unit the float popped off the arm and bounced back into the tank! I have an extra float (thanks Brett!) but am looking for ideas about how to get the other float out of the tank - short of dropping the tank and dumping it over? Option 2 - just leave the thing in there...

So... I have a small exhaust man. leak and I also have some new headers here. I'm thinking if I am gonna replace gaskets etc then this is the time to put the headers on. I've never done this before but it looks to be pretty straight forward although potentially aggravating and in tight spaces...

I was hoping you guys might have some insight into an issue. I have a rough idle at higher temps and only when stopped at stop lights etc. It also is hard to start when warm. It runs great at speed (around town anyway 15-40mph) but once I sit at a light for a few seconds it starts to run rough...

I have a summit intake man with a new edelbrock 1403. I am chasing vacuum leaks all over the place and think i have it narrowed down. My question is Must the modulator vacuum line be hooked up to one of the ports on the front of the carb? (if so, pass or drivers side - the other one gets the...

I replaced the 3rd member a few weeks ago and decided to sell the original 3:50 3rd member that came out of my 1973 Bronco. It worked fine while in the truck, but doing me no good sitting on the shelf. Make me an offer. I was gonna post on Craigslist but wanted you guys to have first crack at it...

Sorry if the answer is already posted in another thread - I think it is but I can not find it... so here goes: I have functioning turn signals and hazards when the lights or parking lights are NOT on. when I turn the parking and/or headlights on I don't have any signals or hazards in the front...

Sorry, I'm sure it has been discussed but my searches did not yield a definitive answer. I found a good deal on WH 3.5" coils and 3.5" 11 leaf packs. I also just added a new custom bumper and winch on the front and an fabricating a bumper for the rear. I wanted to jump on this deal since its...
