Hi all,
Big (6´7") Dutchy living in Colombia now (the country, not the ´American´ Columbia)
Way back in 93 or 94 I had a ´82 Bronco where the previous owner replaced the engine with a spanking new 6,4l (or something) BigBlock.
Was in love with that matt black devil. Stripped of all luxury it took me everywhere and I did 115 Mph on the highway easily.
Over a year ago I bought a ´94 Bronco XLT 302 Automatic and it´s seen the mechanic about every week or other week.
Long story short: almost all sensors have been replaced, engine has been overhauled, automatic has been rebuilt all new, straightened, new pistons, valves, gaskets, 5x different spark plugs, 4x different cables, fuel pump, water pump, idle sensor, radiator, thermostat, distributor, and some cosmetics. (Think I´m forgetting a few things)
Last week (mid feb 2016) they told me my crankshaft damper was bad. Made a huge difference because, after setting the timing again, it runs smooth as silk.
But a problem that I have had since the beginning: The car is slow as.... anything.
Nobody seems to be able to help me and I´ve dropped so much money into the car that the bottom (of my money, not the car) is in sight...
Been strawling forum after forum and some good tips, some bad ones but to no avail!...
I´m here for that magic person that can lead me into the holy land of torque... (without changing the engine for now...)
Oh yeah: It did read 209.9 at the wheels and 473 lbs torque, which is spot on. Compression 170-175.
32" wheels, original differentials.
I´m lost...
