    No bright lights?

    I have the relay upgrade on my headlights. The dims work fine but I have no brights. I tested all the wires all the way to the lights and it is hot even on the post on the back of the lights. If I'm hot all the way to the post, it has to be the bulbs doesn't it?

    Torquing rocker arm nuts?

    My brother has rebuilt the 302 in his 1970, and the rocker arm nuts seem to keep backing loose on their own. If I'm reading Chiltons correctly it's saying torque to 18-20ft. lbs. Is that correct? He was told by another bronco owner he had never torqued a rocker arm nut, that he should just...

    Bronco keeps dying

    I'll be driving down the road and the bronco just dies. I don't loose power to radio, lights etc, and if I turn the key to "off" and then back to "on" it starts right back up. I have already replaced the ignition switch once. Sometimes it will do it in 1/4 mile sometimes not for 10 miles...

    Radiator Hose sucked shut?

    Went on a little Bronco trip with my brother and some buddies this weekend, and my brothers 74 was over heating. We got to looking and the radiator hose was sucking shut. Anti freeze was boiling over out the overflow and the hose was sucked till it was almost flat. Temp was about 230. Shut the...

    Starter won't stop?

    Went to start the Bronco this morning, and the starter stuck in starting mode. It just keeps going. I had to pull the battery cable off to get it to stop. I can take the key all the way out, and when I touch the battery cable the starter engages. Is this the solenoid? or maybe the ignition switch?

    Hurst shifter mount

    How does the hurst floor shifter mount? Mine has been kinda binding when shifting. I was thinking the rods might be slightly bent. Last night I shifted into 3rd and it made a "pop" noise and my whole shifter lever seems really loose. I can tilt the whole thing to the right, like its only...

    Idle / oil pressure

    At what RPMs should I idle? It's at about 500. My oil pressure at idle is about 15-20 pounds. It is at about 48-50 pounds at higher rpm. I just had all new valves put in, and I don't recall seeing the drop in oil pressure at idle before and was wondering if that is normal?
