[brian_n_texas]

Brian Holman here, howdy ya'll. Just got a 1982 Bronco, 351w, C6, box-stock everything except for a custom rear bumper.

I'm looking to post my progress as I work to get this baby running, has been sitting for 3+ yrs. Rebuilding the carb this week, gonna try to start 'er up this weekend 7/17/04.

Although I have done a lot of research, I'm sure you'll be hearing from me!! Check my gallery for pics.

Welcome to BZ!!! Where'bouts in Texas??? Good luck with the resto, I often refer to my Haynes and Chilton repair manuals for guidance, and everyone here is willing to help!!!

 

[brian_n_texas]

That'll be up 30mi north of Dallas, the area is geographically known as The Blackland Prairie - makes for some good mud!

Wassup wit dat??? Don't mess with Texas!!!

 

[brian_n_texas]

Changed the oil, pulled the gas tank off and ran a clean line into a gas can, installed the rebuilt carb and got it running on Jul 18! But I still got work to do.....See carb picture in my gallery.

I have a problem posted in the tech support forum, but I wanted to update my progress here, too.

Total cost up to now: $605.54

Sounds like you're not too far from Selma??? A little gas will knock those wasps out PDQ. Glad to hear the motor runs, just blow out the cobwebs and you're good to go!!! Good Luck with the resto, Randy

 

[brian_n_texas]

Yo, Randy...when I look up Selma on Yahoo! Maps, I'm getting a town close to San Antonio. I'm up north of Dallas, 'bout 35 mi.

I've been down on the coast a few times, took a 4wd truck down Padre Island.

Man, you are all over this site - I can't even find time to get on here and do much in the way of postings, I'm doing good to track my resto progress in my gallery! I have been reading all over, lots of good info in the support section.

Oh yeah, every wasp I have encountered so far has bit the dust when I shoot a little carb cleaner on 'em.
