Congrats! Finally done and can now put it behind you. I am still waiting for Sacramento to finish processing my YOM plates :-(
Getting some headway on my “other” temporary project! Hopefully soon I’ll be done, it’s looking good, turning out good. I couldn’t believe that this carburetor actually made fuel go through! It was so full of sludge and dirt in brush hair and I don’t even know what the hell is in there! Couldn’t even see the Jets! I’ll have to say, I’m real impressed with Carter/Edelbrock carburetor‘s! They are tough as nails!!! I’m real curious to see how it’s going to run after I get this back together Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
F$&&&kkk!!!!! Damn! Needle Bearings Fell out Trying ti put the Tranny Back in the B$&@@co! Now I have to rebuild the whole damn thing, had to cut off the bearing on the back get it apart!!!!! Oh well there’s a few broken clips and things anyway!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It was a good thing though, the snap ring broke on the inside shaft were the synchro rides, and it was forcing the cone into the inside getting it really hot you can see the bluing. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I use red and tacky, cause it's sticky. It's not magic and has worked on quite a few trans and lots of transfer cases.
Thanks! I got some really thick purple stuff we use at work! I used on the transfer case, because of course they all fell out first! I took everything off in sections because everything is cast-iron and heavy as hell, I guess I have to leave the adapter on the transfer case! Der! I forgot the input gear is on it! Trying to bench press all that stuff Up into there like an idiot! Of course I got rid of my tranny jack adapter when I moved! One roller/needle bearing was missing or lost. So I’m kind of proud of myself, I took a drill bit that was the same size as the missing one, and cut it down and made it fit, you couldn’t even tell! Plus I figure it’s hardened! Should be fine. (Red-neck engineering) At first I was having fun working on this vehicle, but now I just want it the hell out of here! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I’ve been learning Stuff! Now I can do a C-4, early Ford, 3 speed, and a later Ford 3 speed! I made a dummy shaft for the cluster shaft, made life a lot easier, plus the needle bearing kit I got they are slightly tight on purpose, so they can’t fall out, even without The Grease. Put some in anyway. (The Zip ties are so the shaft can not pop out on me again, while putting it in!) Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
All Done! Almost done with with the unnamed one! Cant wait to get back to the Doll!” (After a bunch of year long put off honey dos first!) It was a good run though! Knew it would catch up! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Well. The tranny shifts real easy and smooth now... and the clutch works awesome... but... now it has whiny 1/2/R When I Downshift, and let off the gas, doesn’t do it under load or in third, so I think it’s probably that gear train and the Cluster shaft might’ve got worn a little bit from that snap ring being broken, and then the shaft being able to float a little bit, made its own sweet spot, so now that everything is fixed properly with new parts I think it’s sloppy just can’t see it with the eye! that’s my theory anyway. I put 80/ 90 in it and it’s pretty whiny so I switched to 85 /140 and want to see if that might quiet it down a bit. I’m done screwing with it!!! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Well, it did quiet it down a little bit, and then also putting the trans cover and boots back on so it’s not going right up into my face! still whines but it’s not too bad it hasn’t changed in two days so I think it’s probably good to go it’s just the gears are old. Shift smooth a child could shift it now! And that diaphragm style clutch is real super easy to push. i’m gonna finish cleaning the interior give it one more bath! Then I’m gonna sell it!!!

I should probably put the 85/140 in the transfer case also huh? that 80/90 was thin like water when it’s hot Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I can’t remember are you supposed to mix it with oil-that is in there or just use this? I think you’re supposed to mix it Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I found it it’s 20%, and here’s one review off of Amazon I found it specific for my situation Anyway it won’t hurt! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I’m mostly talking to myself here, but I have a plan! So the container I use to pump oil has all the measurement lines on it, instead of trying to figure all the amounts in each box,I’ll just put the 85/140 in there and then I’ll add 20% of the Lucas to amount in the container, and mix it all together really good and then drain all the oil, and just fill up all the gear boxes diffs, Transfer case, and the Tranny with the premixed amount ( like you do with 2 stroke) What do you think Matt? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Sounds like a plan! A great deal more scientific that I would I would have thought of. I woulda eyeballed it.... But I'm the guy who ran four bananas and half a car of engine restore in a ford 9", which worked marvellously by the way.
I can’t get away from this Bronco! I got it up for sale now, and a bunch of people are asking me if I would do upgrades for them! Because I guess they like my anal-retentive work! Maybe I should get into the Bronco building business LOL! I just wanna get back to my hot rod!!! It is a complement though! All these young Guys want classics Have money, but don’t know how work on anything. Alot of Business potential out There! If i were 15 years younger!
A classic car and no mechanical skills? That sounds like a recipe to get ripped off!(not by you Of course) but I have seen it a bunch in the off-road world.
BRONCO is Sold! Gone! Back to the Doll! (After Some backed up honey-dos! Might be another month or so) She’s worth it! She was very patient while I was doing this for the last three or four months!!! Plus she’s getting a new Mac computer from my pay cut! Put the doll in there with this pic so I don’t get in trouble!!! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
What the hell happened to the HAMB app? i’m lost without it! Having a hell of a time navigating on the full site on my phone. Took me a half hour just to find my posts! anyway I did a little work on the doll today in between honeydos!!!!
Running out of places to store things especially now that they’re painted! Just got to clean up the housing and weld a bung for drain then I can start painting it. and putting The rear end in and back together!
HAMB app is GONZO into the big junkyard. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tapatalk-the-h-a-m-b-app.1231355/
