restoration...making it original...
I am doing by best to get my 69 bronco back to original. unfortunately, the motor is out of a 72. which is really ok by me. my question is...Is there any number or I.D. tag on the block that will tell me or rather, give me a sort of "build sheet" for the 302 v8? what kind of fuel pump; distibutor; original carb...etcetera.....My goal is to restore this ole' girl back to original the very best possible. Any one been through this before have any tips on where to find related info? Thanks in advance!

There is a number cast into the block behind the starter. Sticky's under small block V8 forum will help decipher. Points distributor, standard fuel pump and 2bbl. carb will be stock. Stock 72 302 will be 140hp, 8.5:1 compression. NumberDummy will come up with any part numbers. Classicbroncos.com is the best source for EB related questions since that is all it deals with. Enjoy.

The first 4 digits will give you the year, what it came out of etc. Example 72 wil be D2**, 69 wil be C9## the next four just says its an engine, 6015. Look at the stickies, pretty well self explained.

I would have to say, someone else before me broke it and tried to glue it..er, something of that nature; There is glue residue left on the part that snapped. Someone has been there before me.
! uuuggghh! it might be plastic, I might be able to tap it out...carefully.

It's not plastic. If you still have enough sticking out vise grips may get it. Get your new one first so you can see what you're dealing with and proper size and threads before you start drilling.

That's good advice......Are they exspensive?
