Yea my 76 has the 6.9 everything else is stock.
Nah john my bronco has a 400 I hate them. I bought a 460 which I do like but an IdI will I think with 1/2 ton running gear with 3.55's and and overdrive break 20 mph, I hope close to 25 and the 73 to 79 fords are my all time favorite rigs so I keep them forever.
So I can either spend the money to chamge it over to a 460 and rebuild it every 10 years or install an IDI and it will probably last the rest of my days.
Besides that I needed a fuel pump for my 400 in my wrecker today and the local (25 miles) parts houses including napa have quit stocking mechanical fuel pumps so I get it in the morning, so it needs anIDI too.

LOL amen star!
I've visited the Stroke forum many times, and every single time i've been there. I came across threads that has to do with either engine codes, or messed up sensors.
Poor Stroker guys eh lol.
