All the wiring comments are implied. Gonna remedy that this summer.

Consider yourself lucky I was wearing shorts. I've been known to work on my Bronco in nothing but boxers!

Pulled the valve covers and then the intake hunting that pesky tic which sounded like a lifter. Alas the valve train appears great so now I am thinking its likely a wrist pin or possibly a broke ring. I purchased a great running 302 out of a 70 F 100 that a buddy recently pulled out so I guess the bronc will get a transplant in the next couple of days. I'll pull the current engine down after I get the nused one in and start planning a build for it for a spare or use in another project.

Compression test?

I got a little crazy with the chrome spray paint today. Did the front and rear lights. Mucho bueno.

Does it go faster now?

I always got a kick out of 'chrome' paint. It's almost like watermelon flavored bubble gum.

That is a good use for the paint. Now you just need some amber bulbs and clear lenses to go with your pedal covers

Installed an actual bronco ignition switch. Been running a crap universal thing for a while and it stopped springing back from start. So now it's got a real switch and real keys. Modified the key handles with a little spray Bedliner to give em a more modern look.

Oh and I installed the Detroit and shafts.

I'm with ya chuzie. Guess the Detroit and shafts are just minor details. Next it'll be an ARB and RCV's in the front axle or something insignificant like that.
