Today, Dad worked on the rotisserie, while I painted a few things.
I painted the pulleys, balancer, and I finished the intake plate.
Neat story about the intake plate- My Dad's friend who passed away years ago was a pretty big Bronco guy. His neighbor's son was killed in a Mustang, and told him he would give him the remains of the car if he would put the engine in a Bronco. He did it, and put the EFI on with it. This was possibly the first EFI Early Bronco Dad ever saw. After the guy passed away, my uncle bought most of his Bronco stuff including the EFI Bronco. He ended up swapping it to carb, so he removed the intake stuff. He later sold the Bronco. I got the plate from him the other night, and spiffed it up a bit. So something from Dad's friend's EFI swap, likely the first one he saw, is going on his first EFI Bronco! Maybe it's silly, but I think it's pretty neat.
I plan to pick the engine parts back up tomorrow, along with some new gaskets and re-rebuild the engine. Hopefully it will be ok this time. %)
