New to me '74 Bronco - 12/20/2006 9:28:24 AM    Bullitt94 Posts: 448 Score: 0 Joined: 8/18/2005 Status: offline My wife just bought me a '74 Bronco for my Christmas gift.  It's a sweetheart!  It needs some TLC, but it's in about as good of shape that you can find them in without already being restored.  Came with a 4 barrel Holley carb and and Edelbrock intake. One question about this vehicle: does anyone know if this truck needs to have the lead additive added to the gas? _____________________________ 1994 Ford Mustang GT 1990 Ford F-150 2001 Lincoln LS V8 1970 Ford Bronco 2006 Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom 1994 Mazda 626 LX If you don't already own a Ford (or Ford owned product), get one.

They command some big bucks around here if restored.. Come to think about it,,,even un-restored.. Running lead additive certainly wouldn't hurt, but if the heads have been updated/remaned. with hard seats/valves the lead isn't needed, or if the heads haven't ever been pulled.. Most machine shops would/should have update the heads during a build unless it's a cost issue for the customer.. My 69 T/A is still runing the OEM valves/seats and the unleaded hasn't been an issue since it ran leaded fuels, nor does it run lead additive now.. If the heads/valves were to be ground, with no hard parts installed, then lead is a must to keep the valves from burning.. But, you could error to the side of caution and use it.... Congrats on the new rig... _____________________________ 05 F250 C/C FX4 6.0 1969 Firebird Trans Am 2003 Hayabusa GSXR1300 (in reply to Bullitt94) Post #: 2

Thanks for the help, Hayapower. _____________________________ 1994 Ford Mustang GT 1990 Ford F-150 2001 Lincoln LS V8 1970 Ford Bronco 2006 Harley-Davidson Sportster Custom 1994 Mazda 626 LX If you don't already own a Ford (or Ford owned product), get one.
