I just purchased a 1989 bronco custom xlt that has been through a 302-300 swap and came out rough. My dad and some of my friends said the s6 was about fords strongest pulling long lasting engine and convinced me to purchase it. I love the truck and the engine but its not right.

They cut and plugged the smog sys. Cut into the wiring harness the speedometer/odometer, and gas gauges dont work the blower is always on the alt bat and reg are good but charging system has issues 4alt n 2 bat in last 6 months i only put on 1 each after i bought it.

It stalls out some especially in 4wd going up a hill. Very old single barrelled carb on it.

Engine is out of an 83 but not sure if it is from a bronco or f100-150
Also i know its hard but i need a used tailgate that functions.

Any advice to ceaning up the way it runs

30yo Ex Navy First time ford owner and i love it.

 

I replied to this in another thread, I shouldn't have done that but I didn't realize at the time you were hijacking somebody else's thread and that's not real cool to do here.

I shall paste my reply into this thread, then edit it out of the other thread.

 

I also have edited out mine as well in that thread sorry
