[harmon54859]

Hi guys new to this site and new to the bronco world. but i am very excited have already started doing some minor repairs on the bronco and have it rolling down the road. ( door latch mech. and interior handles, upper and lower ball joints, radial arm bushings, headlight) Still having issues with the rear window going down, the guy a bought it from said u had to push up on the driver side of the window while someone rolled it down to make it go down or it would jam. is there a way to adjust the track?? also i don't have very good throttle response really doggy. the truck has sat for a few year, i drained the tank and put fresh fuel in and have ran bout 2 tanks through hasn't gotten any better?? any ideas?? Is the timing off possibly??  I was thinking bout possibly convirting over to a carb instead, good idea or not?? sure u all have ur own oppinions but would like to hear them and the pros and cons.. want to get these ducks in a row befor advancing and ordering a lift kit. Any help, ideas, or comments would be appriciated.. Thanks For Your Time

Hey Jon, Welcome.

For the most part FI systems are more efficient than carbs. It's important to be user all the systems are in proper working order and to specs. Have you changed the fuel filter?  If not that would be a first. Check the base timing. Remember to remove the spout connector and have the engine at operating temp.  Often on older trucks the TB and plenum gets really gooped up with carbon. Either pay to have a system cleaning done by a shop that you trust, or if you want to do the work take the TB off and clean the TB and plenum yourself.   Running a can of Seafoam, helped my Beast alot, and the Seafoam sucked in the vacuum line, ( PVC, od Brake Booster) did a great job cleaning my intake valves,  Doing all that and making sure I had no vacuum leaks, got me a good throtle responce and about 17 MPG on the highway.  The Beast is no road burner, but that is the product of a 5.0 engine in a truck that ways almost 3 tons! 

My oppinion...keep the FI, and clean and tune the engine.

Good Luck
