The Centurion has a site all its own. www.fourdoorbronco.com The Centurion (and a few other) conversions began life as F-series crew-cab trucks with the Bronco bed worked in place of the pickup bed.

I replaced my 1994 XL (302) ECM and coil. No spark. What did I miss or do wrong?

You'll do much better to start a new thread in the main forum. This isn't the place for tech questions.

You'll get much more help and better responses there.

Kellie,

Best to start a new thread in the Big Bronco Forum. Your question won't be seen here.

i just got a 1983 Bronco. I was looking to get some advice and maybe see if i could get some help. this truck has sat up for ten years and im kinda scared to jump in head first. it first had a 6 banger in it. im glad it had a 351M trasplant. i am just woundering if there is anything i should be midful of with this trucks age. when i first started to mess with it i was worried that the clutch would be froze up. i guess i dodged a bullet when i put it in natual and i started to roll. i went to crank it and i was suprised that it fired right up. ive dropped the tank and removed the old fuel it had a very pungent odor to it and it came out black and it slight orange tint to it. i took a light looked in the tank and there was trash all in the bottom of the tank and i took a presher washer and spayed all the trash out and it was one of the cleanest fuel tank ive ever seen. saddly i have ran in to a problem with a set of long tube headers. when i hooked them up on the drver side my frount drive shaft is hitting my headers. im just looking for some help. thanks

Check/replace your neutral safety switch or call ghostbusters.

Thanks, but I don't think that a 78 bronco had that yet. I think I mite have wires crossed or something. I don't have a good memory now, its a medical thing, just asking for someone to maby tell me where the wires go. Please and thank you.

Is it possible that you have the starter relay wires crossed? Is it a 3 or 4 terminal relay?

not really sure, i know there is (2) large post, one on each side. then theirs (2) small post on the front. battery on one side, starter on the other, (sides). (front) when i plug the wires to it, the starter starts turning. i have been working on vehicles for about 17 years, (just a shade tree guy) i work on my things. But, this wiring thing has stumped me.
