Picture or EB engine compartment

I have been looking for more than just a couple of hours for pictures of a "stock" 1968 EB 289 engine compartment.

Of course as you all probably can guess that no one leaves these "stock" anymore and either modify the engine or intake or raise the truck etc etc....

I really want to see the air cleaner and all the attachments that go with the v-8s in 1968.

anyone seen or have some ?

That is what I was looking for . What is the can on the back of the stock air cleaner that points to the corner of the engine compartment. Mine is missing and wonder where you get one?

I don't think that intake is 100% stock, but I think that is some kind of pre-heater. Here is a completely stock intake from Tom's Bronco... http://www.tomsbroncoparts.com/image...r_Assembly.jpg

Hmm.
302 70's yr models
mine is a 289 few yrs older.

I have an open hole back there. Since I am on LOTS of dirt roads. The air filters are not lasting long. Want to do something to pre filter the air. Maybe ill wrap panty hose around it. Would love to find the actual item though.

thanks for you attention and help

there's a buncha posh gents that have a site I ran into 10 yrs or so ago that's still up. It is exclusively for the roadsters ('66 - '68 were the yrs for that run) so can get U back (all the way to concourse correct) if U want.

google: U15 (wasn't that the 1st few ltrs on the tag signifying 'roadster'?)
or
bronco U15
bronco roadster
U15 roadster

something like that...

any difficulties post me at
chrlsful@aol.com
and I'll look in my archive for the correct URL.

The only V8 available in 1966/68 Bronco's was the 289.

302 introduced in Passenger Cars in 1968, introduced in Bronco, F100 & Econoline in 1969.

U13 is a Roadster, U15 is a long roof wagon, U14 is a "Sport Car" (Utility) aka a short roof wagon.

Looks a lill like an early PCV to me. The top sketch may B the oil bath style carb filter (I think they had a "draft tube" rather than recirculating/inclosed system for THAT).

To me it's an important part of the system that too many rip off'n toss in their resto-mod efforts. There's more "breathin" than just the gulp'o air the carb takes! Boy, by the time U get to the '70s and '80s they engineered all sorta tubes, pipes, pumps, etc.

Yeah
I had an 84 full size.
nice truck but the smog stuff on it was every where and after 16 yrs. started falling off.

Was able to keep it running good though till I sold it in the late 90's.
Found it in a back yard about 1/2 mile from my house. Not running now.
just sitting out and melting away.

Would never let that happen to my EB. Lives a very good life and it is very happy at 142 k original miles.
