Tried to drive the 69 down to look for a job. Fuel pump quit about 10 miles from home. Walked 4.5 miles to get a fuel pump. The only one they had was for the 70 and up 6cyl. I thought it would fit, turns out the engines set up for vacume wipers have a diffrent cam and use a very diffrent fuel pump. I ended up brake off a bolt for the fuel pump
. We ended walking up the road to a store and calling a cab. Of course I then notice the auto parts store that was 1/4 a mile up the road from where I was:crying:
Ended up using pepe to tow it home, I also figured out pepe has a bearing going bad in the transfer case. So I guess I will rebuild my spare and swap it out. I had to weld a nut to the broken bold and walk it out so I can put the new fuel pump in.
I also learned (since this was the longest test drive I've had) the soft top isnt set up right. The door brackets are in the wrong spot and dont sit in the body corectly. The fuel guage is still inop, but I have fixed up my spare and will swap it out tommorow.
But I did find a job, start at the hyundai dealership. I went to be a tech but they realy wanted me to write service so I will try it for a while.
But first I need to fix up one of these broncos to drive.
