Q: What are the float adjustments for a 1981 Ford Bronco (straight 6) carburetor?
My husband is out working on our Bronco and the float has come out of adjustment, the Bronco will not idle at stoplights. He used to have a piece of paper with the information on it, but it got lost when we moved last month. Does anybody have the specs on where a carburetor for a 1981 Ford Bronco should be?
It’s a one barrel.
300 cubic inch engine.

A: Since you have to open it up to adjust the float, get a carb rebuild kit. The kit will have the gauge for the float in it.

Q: How much does a frame/chassis weigh on a 1981 Ford Bronco?

A: 600-800# ???

Q: WHAT KIND OF ENGINE WOULD A STOCK 1981 FORD BRONCO 4X4 8 CYLINDER HAVE?
ITS AUTOMATIC, I NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS A BIG OR SMALL BLOCK AND IF ITS A 454 OR 351 OR WHAT

A: 302 or a 351w or a 351m and 400, both was used. 351m was early and 351w was later in the year. 302 and 351w are pretty similar, the 351m and 400 was physically larger, but not as high powered.

Q: Wheels wont move on a 9 inch ford rear end?
I have a 1981 bronco with a 9 inch rear end. I was in the woods, dropped the clutch and heard a loud pop. Now only the drive shaft spins and tires don’t. I removed the carrier and noticed i did not break the cross pin in the mini spool. If i turn the yoke with my hand the gears move. The housing is cracked by the bearing seen from what would be the back of the axle. the yoke bearing i was told. but was told that wouldnt play a factor. Any help would be great!

A: if the rear end housing is cracked where the yoke goes in the front of rear end housing the yoke is attached to the pinion gear good chance the pinion is snapped this happens from time to time however there are several things
this could be the only sure way to find out is tear it down

Q: Ford 351M fuel pump.?
I am having hard time changing mechanical fuel pump.1981 fullsize bronco 351Modified.old one comes out easy BUT new one don’t want to go in.I tried turning engine no luck.Does engine have some kinda rod I need to displace to able to put it in.help please

A: try putting the pump in tilting the rod end up then put it in as far as you can and tilt it back flat and it should be in place

Q: which of these cars is the best deal for the money?

A: i dont know,got board of reading but im sure its all very interesting

Q: Do not listen to the government. Toyota recall is a hoax! Why?
I will tell you why:
It’s because the government owns GM now. They want you to buy
our vehicles. Why are people freaking out about Toyota? Of the ten
largest auto recalls of all time eight were GM vehicles. They’re trying
to scare you into purchasing GMs. Think about all of the commercials
they’re pushing. Hear one on the radio the other day “I JUST TRADED
IN MY TOYOTA FOR A CHEVY MALIBU, I FEEL SO SAFE!!!”

No. No. No. No. You couldn’t pay me to drive an American vehicle.

Ford 1987 (3.6 million vehicles): Engine-compartment fires caused
by faulty fuel-line connectors compelled Ford to issue this recall in
1987. While not the biggest in terms of vehicle numbers, this recall
may be the widest: affected vehicles included virtually every model
Ford made, including F150-350 trucks, and all Lincoln and Mercury models.

GM 2004 (3.6 million vehicles): From 1999 to 2004, tailgating took on
a new dimension for the 134 customers who suffered minor accidents from
collapsing tailgates. Corroded cables were the culprits. In 2004, GM offered
to replace the tailgate cables on Silverados, Sierras, Escalades, and Avalanches.
In their defense, it should be noted that customers are clearly warned not to
stand on open tailgates. At least 134 have not read that part of the owner’s manual.

GM 1973 (3.7 million vehicles): The ability to control where your car actually
goes is important. GM saw the truth of this in 1973 when they agreed to install
engine shields to prevent stones from disabling the steering assembly. 18 models
were affected: Centurion, Electra, Estate Wagon, LeSabre, Riviera, Belair,
Biscayne, Brookwood, Caprice, Impala, Kingswood, Kingswood Estate,
Townsmen, Olds 88 and 98, Bonneville, Grand Ville, and Catalina.

Ford 1971 (4.1 million vehicles): Seatbelt shoulder harnesses on 1970 and
‘71 Ford Rancheros, Lincolns, Mercurys, and Fords (yes, there was at one time
a Ford Ford) had an annoying tendency to fray and detach from the metal holding
it to the frame. And though few drivers were even wearing seatbelts back then,
Ford did the right thing and issued the recall.

GM 1981 (5.8 million vehicles): Some drivers learned the hard way that suspension
bolts in certain GM models had a way of wiggling themselves loose. The result? The
loss of ability to steer the car. In 1981, GM offered to replace the dubious bolts in the
Century, Regal, El Camino, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Caballero, Cutlass, Grand Prix, and
Lemans.

GM 1971 (6.7 million vehicles): In 1971, some GM customers got the ride of
their lives as engine mounts began separating from frames and falling back onto
throttles. The models with these rocket-like tendencies included Belair, Brookwood,
Camaro, Caprice, Chevrolet, Chevy II, G Series, Impala, Kingswood, Nova, P Series,
C Series, and Townsmen.

Ford 1996 (8.6 million vehicles):In 1996, after customers complained of fires caused
by faulty ignition systems, Ford Motor Co. recalled vehicles including 1998-’93 Escorts,
Mustangs, Tempos, Thunderbirds, Cougars, Crown Vics, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town
Cars, Aerostars, Broncos, and F-series trucks

Ford 2008 (12 million vehicles) In February of 2008, Ford issued the industry’s
largest-ever recall, affecting Lincoln and Mercury SUVs, pickups, cars, and vans of
model years ‘93 to ‘04. The lowly cruise-control switch was behind this mother-of-all
do-overs. It had a nasty habit of catching fire, sometimes hours after the vehicle had
been parked and turned off. Owner response, however, has been slow, so in a rare
move Ford reissued the recall in September of 2008 for the 5 million vehicles still
unrepaired.

On top of ALL of this I bet none of you have heard of the 1.3 million Chevys just
recalled in China for failing steering wheels just YESTERDAY.

Thanks, but I’m going to be sticking to my imports.

A: You are probably right
My original thought was “since when is the federal govt involved in car recalls”
All of the auto makers have had recalls and the feds don’t get involved like they have on this one.
Our whole political system is a mess & full of corruption.
