You gonna have it back together to work at the race this weekend? Still wish I could go, but my family put their foot down, I skipped my associates graduation, they won't let me skip my bachelors

Time for a new balancer.

Yep. They sure shake when they do that, don't they?

Drill and tap then run 4 bolts into the new one you get. I did it and it works great.

Yes, my tires looked like jello at idle.

I'm not following you? Why?

It keeps the balancer from pulling off like that. I'll take a pic of mine. They tend to want to come apart especially when your bouncing around.

I think I'll just put a new balancer on. I could see those bolts affecting the effectiveness of the balancer.

The only reason mine failed is from age and use. A new one from Ford Racing is only $65 and should last quite a while.

I just read through your entire build thread Philo, I like your Bronco a lot. On a side note would you happen to have any stock radious arm brackets?

If he doesn't - I do.

LOL GFB community is awesome!! Sorry to clutter up your thread. If everything goes right I should be at the Midnight Special next month. I will call you and see if you wouldn't mind bringing some with you if you are going to be chasing at that race that is.

New fuel pump this morning. I'm getting really good at dropping the tank.

It hadn't gone 100% bad but it was vapor locking when above 105 degrees.

I just changed my Ranger fuel pump yesterday also.

Original one lasted 15 years, replacements last 6 months.
