Worked on POJ the Bronco yesterday a little bit. Found the vacuum advance has a bad diaphragm that is leaking. Also one of the rubber plugs on the carb was bad too, so had a couple of vacuum leaks. I plugged those and took it for a drive and it is running better. I still need to replace the vacuum advance, but may just run it a bit for now.

I used to wander through my grandparent's farm, which had lots of old classic cars, and wonder, why did they use them for storage sheds, all of the cars were just packed full of useless junk, and newspapers, and magazines. I always thought that there were enough of those cars out there to put some together and make a few good cars. There were about 4 Chevy Super Deluxe's, there were a few 54-56 Ford Fairlanes, a hand full of station wagons, some with enormous motors, from when fuel was cheap, and one old stepside pickup. The one I really wanted was about a 36 Ford Limo that must have had some history behind it, but nobody would talk about it. When I asked questions about it, or tried to convince my parents to let me acquire it, the conversation was quickly changed. Its always been a bit of a mystery to me why people avoided talking about that one. It seems to me that it was almost hidden behind buildings and trees in their yard... Maybe I am making a mountain out of a mole hill, but if ever given the chance, I would try to acquire that old, long black car.
They sold at the farm sale, which no one told me about, for fear that I would probably tried to own several of them.
oh.. and to make a long story short. I now find the Jeep and the back of the pickup full of stuff, that each time I want to use them, I have to clean them out.. Maybe its time to reorganize our garden shed, and move stuff out there.

Hope you find the truth someday Curt, I know that older vehicles that have sat neglected for years always catch my eye and make me want to know more and possibly bring them back. Luckily I've pulled a couple out of fields and the resurrections rarely went well so I'm a little more hesitant to jump into those types of projects again, lol.
I changed out the busted ignition tumbler and re-centered the steering wheel on the YJ, it's a little more difficult to steal since it now requires a key! Might come in handy during the summer months when I rarely have doors\top on
