Sloppy the Bronco

picked up a timing light, I was confused about which mark I needed to set it too, my 63 year old dad happened to be by the shop, never doubt an old dude, we got it set, it was still missing, he suggested dialetic grease on the rotor and contact points in the cap, put it in, no more issues, and I guess this is a strong running 302 since I broke the rear end loose on my test drive

What's a timing light?
ask timWhat's a timing light?
After I thought about it I should have asked where did you find one to buy? At a swap meet?
my fathers tool collection.
I still have my craftsman from 40 years ago.
I have one of those about the same age.
Saving for a new steering gear, the one thats on it started leaking shortly after the new steering pump (and severe) rather than a junkyard or a vatozone rebuild I'm trying to save my pennies for this

I like the Mexican eyebrow across the windshield.
A roll bar will be a priority, that rear fiberglass shell doesn't offer anyone in the back much protection should worst come to happen
I must be getting old, I am considering a winch with a synthetic rope over cable, I know all of the disadvantages, no snatch blocks etc etc to rope, but I've been around tow trucks my whole life, and I've seen cables snap in violent fashion. The Bronco is something my friends and family will be around, I don't want to put them around that sort of thing.

Wow, I wouldn't put one of those on my grannys car.
But then again, you are in "New Mexico".
