Re: 302 vs 351

So I've been looking for a Bronco for the last couple months, and have been turning away from a couple nice looking rigs because they had a 302. But I'm starting to think maybe I'd be fine with a 302. So I'm just curious how many guys are running the 302 and are happy with them, or wish they had a ...

Re: Key won't turn

The hole being bigger shouldn't keep it from working. The new cylinder will slide right in as long as everything is in the acc position. OK...next questions... Will I have to install a new "pin"?

Re: Key won't turn

There are two main reasons the key won't turn in my experience. First is the lock cylinder (where the key goes) and the cam that redirects the key cylinder rotation to the ignition switch (behind the dash) actuation rod. The cams can wear out and jamb and the key cylinder can fall apart inside and ...

Re: Key won't turn

If this is on a ford bronco or f-150 mid 80's to 96, it is probably the linkage. The actual ignition switch is in the dash and there is linkage between the key tumbler and the switch. This linkage gets worn out over time and evetually will quit working and lock up. You will have to pull the plastic...

Didn't need the info after all...we went out to the s/f area, not being familiar with the Anderson DL area we decided to head out to the Bessimer mine crossing...except for the cool/cold wind we had a good time. Saw some close calls at the actual crossing...one class 11 bug stopped and let the co-dr...
