'77 Bronco 4bt Conversion

[High Pressure]

I took a half day of vacation today....to work on the list...

1) Install new radiator -Done

2) Correct the exhaust pipe "banging" problem! Installed new bracket hanger and ground some additional clearance around the transmission cross member brackets ..Much improved... still think more can be done..

3) Need a license plate - Done

Drove it about 6 miles today before the rain started and filled the main tank up with diesel. The tires seem to be balanced well.

Had to adjust the idle up a bit... not sure what RPM... still need to get a tach.. In park & neutral... it was fine... but as soon as I put in reverse or 1st..it would "shake" but after the idle was turned up things were much improved. We shall see..need to think more about this issue... Any ideas?

But I do have a new problem.. my 12SI alternator is not charging.. it was old and came with the engine.. plan to take it off and have it checked.. I assume a parts store can test a 12SI?

Chuck - I might be ready to make a drive to pickup some hats & shirts!
