A lil marvel mystery oil and she’ll fire right up

Hah!!!! I've been thinking about experimenting with spacers under my rad support, to straighten up the fender on one side, and hopefully the hood too. What's up with the earlier grills and turn signal lenses? I subbed just because this video!

was an F150

I got a whole truck (76 F 150 2wd) that had this same issue Original owner had some issue with it in 84 or 85 and pulled the carb and left the hood open. When it was agrees that I could have the truck, the intake was full of mud. The 360 fe was just absolutely gone. Oddly, I replaced it with a built 400

Hi. Do you replace the coupler? Thanks.

I have all the original dealership repair manuals for these trucks. If I can locate them Ill send em to ya if you want them.

Hey Elliot-can you please do a short video on the 95 door jam weatherstrip?-not a fan of the glue on originals as well and would love to see them and their fit on the Bronco--you said if you could only help out just one person -then its totally worth what you're doing!-please would love to see them!--I have dreamt about weatherstrip that would hold without glue for my 78 Bronco -please consider this-Thanks brother -Steve in Canada*

Hobbyist mechanics..... Lol I got a piece of advise, if your winters are below freezing like where i live. I leave my driver window down and crawl through it in the morning. Tarp over the window to keep snow out and such. As for the hood. There are adjustments but, loon at the spring ment to pop the hood up when you release the latch. That spring gets bent, and throws everything off. I daily drive a 73 f250 2wd. Its a finicky little bitch, but when shes banging it all good times. Im a professional mechanic and if i didnt have 20yrs of experience, owning my old ford would be a frustrating experience. I bought mine for $800 from a kid, it wouldnt run. I showed up with an hei dizzy, china carb and gas can with 20ft of fuel line. Ended up riding the 55mi trip home with the gas can riding shot gun and the fuel line running through the wing window. Good times

Very nice work!

Watched a video on welding sheet metal butt joints and having a gap is what you want. Produces a stronger weld, just learned this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJKxYqWZerOaa5Ysi=R6sVLYpcKANCwS-R

Multi shocks are very similar to my take on dually tires. People tend to buy cheaper tires because they need more of them. Buy less and buy better quality. That's my suggestion.

Is the process the same for converting air brakes to electric brakes?

I don’t believe you mentioned where you grounded each brake assembly. Did you ground each individually at the frame or run them up to the front and grounded them there?

Where’d you get the 95 door seals?

IIRC, the hood is an odd thing... if you RAISE the rear mounts, it LOWERS the rear. It's not just the springs, it's how it has to fall BACK into place. I restored a 73 F250 Highboy about 25 years ago and that was a tricky part. If you look at the rear hinge at the end of its travel, it's a bit easier to understand. But if you just loosen the mounting bolts, raise the mount up, then see if that pulls it back and down. Also, IIRC, where the inner fender mounts to the firewall. You can oblong the holes to get more adjustability. I think I used large fender washers on all those mounts to get more adjustability.

I bought the same unit on Amazon. Same issues and concerns you had with quality. However, it works great! Used about 10 times, holding up fine.

did you not check for oil?

Great video-bit confused --why could you not just buy flex lines for a TBird as well -instead of the drilling and machining ??---are you just trying to save money by utilizing the originals of the Bronco ??

U. Should have shown everything, ddoesnt make good videos when u leave stuff out, dont make me want watch

Nice work keep it going I want to watch u get rich lol video quality A1

I love the 1970s-era sides, but I absolutely loved my 1980s-era full-size Bronco and 4x4 pickups with Twin Traction Beam front ends.

Everything rots in Wisconsin. Too much dang salt on the roads :)

And how will the parking brake work?

What’s the up date ?lol im about to do the same thing

But did you measure the venturi size. 1.14 area, but mine is 1.21, and it's also the Chinese carb, but I got mine from a truck shop on Long Island for $85, a couple years ago. And the 2150 rebuild kit fits it too. I was surprised to see them on Amazon.

I fixed a '76 F150 about 20 years ago. The front tires pigeon-toed terribly after a 4" lift. I used the steering link from '79 Bronco along with a drop pitman arm. 36x14.50 Super Swampers needed the dual stabilizer for control.

Where did you get those and can I still use my 4 wheel drive with those adapters

The dual shock front is to lessen wheel hop.

Got one off Amazon today, needed it to help with a troublesome motorcycle tire. Mine must’ve been an upgrade model. Only part I needed to attach was the black part and the gauge reads in psi. Maybe not the best thing out there but good enough for what I will need to do with it.

Good video I had mine together and just wanted to see what you thought of those stupid things on the front I scraped mine to

My 74 AMC Matador OEM carb is a 2150. I bought this carb for it. Only issue was the trans kick down is different. Otherwise found it a great deal.

I’m about to tackle the project myself for my food trailer converting from those mechanical brakes style to a electronic system. I would love to message to see if you can help me out, man!

Awesome job!

Autolite carb jets are different from Holley jets (the Holley jets won't thread in). You can get Autolite jets from Mike's Carburetors, along with a brass float and other carb parts/kits).

Just put one of these on a 400 in my 71 galaxie 500 2drHT, its overflowing pretty bad. Motor only has 17k on it and before it started overflowing it seemed to be running great

I’m from Northern Illinois. I would like to do some of these trails. Can you drop a link? What app did you use to track it?

Ope time for a new one

I just got one of these on eBay and the one I got is of better quality. Gauge is in psi. Came mostly assembled. Sticker makes sense. I’m having trouble making it work on riding mower sized tires. Keeps blasting them across my yard. I’ll get the hang of it one day. Just subscribed!

parts,right...anyone see coilsprings 7700 lbs or greater

Question is, how well does it launch a potato ;)

Beautiful Bronco

I recently used the same product to get the the seats started on Bridgestone Pillow Diameter tractor tires which are a ROYAL PAIN IN arse . Worked just like you showed.

Yep... Controversy! I love the dual shocks! Added them to my 1979 Bronco back in the early 90's and never looked back! Back then I built a good strong 460, so my engine was heavier. I love a good stiff ride and it does handle better! I also love the steering stabilizer! It absolutely helps! With that said I still learned a few things watching your episode, never knew that about the door seals! way to go Jr., keep up the good work!

Hi I have questions I did exactly like this but when I connected the wire from the brake, 1 is ground, the other one I connected to the red color in the junction box but every time when I make the left signal automatically the brake activated only on left turn signal and I changed the position and the brake not working just only work when I connected to red color can you explain why is that problem or any idea to fix the issue Other than that the lights work perfectly

Cool video, the old Fords are definitely worth fixing up.

I expected to hear about the steering design. I switched to the '78-9 design components immediately and recommend everyone does it.

Sorry to pop your bubble but all of the gripes you have about your truck come with the territory of owning an old truck. If you want turnkey ready, go, buy a new truck. After growing up in a body shop building and restoring classic cars, I have come to the conclusion that they should have a $100 bill slot on the dash. Every time you start it up, it needs $100 for something!! Nowadays with inflation, that's $250.

Hey, just found your channel. I have a 1980 302 with a C6 transmission. It shifts ok. I have added 3 packs of instant shudder fix and the tranny still shudders...in park, in neutral, in drive...at certain rpms. At some rpms it doesn't shudder. Do you think it could be the flex plate or torque converter...or something internal? I can remove the tranny and replace those two things, but hate to go through the headache and find out it is internal. I have read that sometimes when matching up tranny's and engines the wrong flex plate could be used and that would cause a vibration. I bought this used of course and the engine and trans are both transplants and I don't know any history. Thanks

good thing you used ear protection 😅😅😅

You just made me changed my mind from using the 5-pin to the 7-pin plug. Thanks for putting up the time to create this informative video, I really like it.
