I just finished putting replacing my Block Heater in my 84 Bronco. The motor is a 1972 302. I just wanted to give some information as to how I did it, as I couldn't find much info any where else.

Step 1. Drain Rad

Step2. Remove Starter

Step 3 Remove Freeze Plug or Malfunctioning Old Block Heater

-this was accomplished with unscrewing rusty ****** and chiseling with a hammer and screwdriver around the outer edge of the old Block heater disk, I ended up ripping the Block heater cord connection out of the heater. I chiseled until the Heater element disk rotated and I was able to finally pry it out.

Step 4. Clean hole and surrounding area with a rag

Step 5. Lubricate Hole with antifreeze

Step 6. Lubricate New Block Heater with Antifreeze

Step 7. Insert plug into hole and ***** in firmly

Step 8. Route Block Heater Cord to Heater connection and Plug in (ensure its not touching Exhaust system)

Step 9. Re-install Starter

Step 10. Add required amount of coolant

Step 11. Bobs your Uncle

Hope this helps anyone that's lookin fer help..

I don't know much fer shure, and this just might prove it...
