is that surface in ur 3 pic what you (or some else) were calling cinders? It’s not
familiar to me. Looks like solid rock (the mind trying to relate it to something known round here).
The rubber goes on the break bleeders @ our place. Plenty of those emdr or whatever (plastic) caps
around. Every thing hasa box somewhere, variable sz, color etc bought for other projects & used 1 out of
the blister pack or thrown in there from something they protected in shipping to here. I have inventoried so
much “stuff” that its hard finding what I want !
Those piles are in a old rock quarry that a Can Am and Polaris SXS business (called Pit Bull Power Sports) bought it and opened a SXS sales and repair shop, with a very awesome show room bldg. So if you want to try before you buy you can out the trails and chat piles. They also have a small quarry lake you can make a lap on a water craft. The other side of the quarry is the Rock Airsoft competition field.
I too the red Bronco there to tune and test, and then took the bruggy to just have fun and run some trails and gravel piles. It is gravel of all sizes, some hard packed from the lime and rain and some like quicksand when trying to power climb a loose based hill.
I got my 2 ports plugged. Hope to tune and test tomorrow. And you can bet I will be in the frame work on the Bruggy checking vac plugs/caps and lines also.
A Henry Ford is my witness, I am getting the Bronco out the garage tomorrow and doing something with it!
I got 7 more concrete culverts the other day, (these above are NOT them). I need to see how wide the new ones are compared to the Bronco's axle/rim/tire set up.
Well got it out of the garage, and worked over the carbs 2 front lower passenger side vacuum ports, that the rubber caps were recently discovered to be dry rotted. No wonder it was running like crap. So I got the large one all properly connected to the PCV system. And the small one plugged accordingly. I 1st hooked it up the vacuum gauge to see if I was pulling a good amount of vacuum at idle.
I am, but now I need to retune it, I think some timing checks are in order and a couple of basic carb adjustments and I should be good to go. I did not get to go out back and flex it out any.

Follow the old rule(-it-out) ?
We made sure there 1st, then went onto fuel.
What? No pictures included in the discussion?
That’s going against your time honored tradition.😉
Do I need to post a pic of a carburetor and some vacuum line? Lol You know that Topside Creeper sure does come in handy... especially for short armed mechanics. Lol x2. Pics as requested. Lol x3.
that’s great,
both w/big smiles
I got (had) 2 like that.
When the girls hit middle school/hi
there was no better place to have parenting
(& daughters providing “daughtering’) conversations
albeit 10 yrs apart. Both can do the basics now and we
discussed some things one could hide behind a tire but still
ask/express whats needed. Now independent they both say it
was some of their fav times (not sailing Chesapeake Bay or 650 mi
off Newport). Not camping in Serra's, skiing near home in VT...
Cherish it now, relax onit (as I do) now (memories)~
No right now I have a time management problem. I can not manage my time to get to work a 40 hr week and get to work on all 3 Bronco's, let along my F250's. All my weekend time/plans get booked by the "boss" and all the grandkid events. Heck I am now a great grandpaw and have not made it to see him yet! But grandkids are the best.
Not mine, but it belongs to a very good friend of mine, who is also a member here on FTE. And I have supplied some parts to him in the past. Transmission and xfer case, fuel cell, tail gate and that in turn let me get my name on the tailgate.
And to continue about Alan aka earthquake68 he is a for real monster truck owner, builder, driver of his and some other ones on the circuit. He did the 5 ton and 66" tire conversion. Did all the motor work, paint and body work. Yes the front and rear fenders are stretched. Way back in EQ's "little tire" days. At the annual Bigfoot open house. Just a little old school monster truck racing. At a show in Springfield Mo, he will air that old school leaf spring truck out for sure. Doing a little practice...
