the 77's upgrades
got a few more things done yesterday...

changed up the fuel system. added a fuel accumulator,moved the LP pump forward some and added a bigger fuel filter and ditched the small Jegs filter that always needed cleaning. had a lot of movement from the pedal assembly...found the to upward mounting bolts missing. these keep the pedal bracket from flexing the firewall. gotta find a exhaust leak still...its causing a lot of decel popping.


things left to do before trip...

install air tanks, and hook up OBA.
install LED rock lights.
modify fan shroud

This warm weather makes it a lot easier to work on the bronco doesn't it... at least it does for me! Curious to see your air tanks installed and see if I can't steal your ideas!

got a few more things done. the air tanks are in, and all hooked up. now it runs a impact nicely! should air tires up even faster now.

also installed some LED rock lights today. so far I like them, wont know how good they really are until it gets darker outside.
