Who had March 14th?

On these Broncos can you disconnect the fuel line at the tank and then use like a boat primer bulb to prime the line to the carb?

Ok, the arm on the fuel pump rides on a lobe connected to the timing gear. Make sure when you put the pump in that the arm is on the lobe, don't just stick it in there. When you put the arm on the timing gear the gasket surface where the bots go in should not fit right. You have to push it in there so the arm on the pump depresses and then bolt it on.

Was there fuel in the line when you took the old pump off?

Gotcha.

I'll probably wind up taking it apart and doing it over again... Seemed to fit a little too easily when I did it. Gonna get this done tomorrow, had a long day today

bronco runs

yay

The bronco has a BW T18 underneath it. The synchros are shot all to ****, and it's so trashed it refuses to even engage fourth gear anymore. Mechanically, the truck is solid other than this transmission, so it's time it gets pulled.

My options at this point are to replace it with a rebuilt transmission, roughly $600, replace it with a used tranny, $200-400, or pay to have it rebuilt. I'm not sure what the cost is on a decent rebuild, and I'm not about to try and do it myself since that would probably end in some cataclysmic hot-pocket failure.

I've been looking for some used transmissions online, but I don't feel like paying a few bennys to have it shipped from somewhere thousands of miles away. What are some good tranny shops in town that would have some used transmissions sitting around? What are some places I could look at to get an estimate on a rebuild? And finally, what should I be looking for in a replacement T18?

Now I know the T18 came in some FS Jeeps, but from what I understand the input shaft is a shorter length than the Ford version. Not looking to do a parts swap, just looking to find the right transmission. How can I identify the difference between the two? Also, the bellhousing of the transmission needs to match up to a 400. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 400 BH the same as the 460 bellhousing?

I don't feel like writing a long response now. BUT you should seriously look into rebuilding it on your own. Old manual trans like that are super retarded stupid easy. I did so on my np-435 and swapped in a new mainshaft in the process and I think it took me a few hours. A complete rebuild kit for that should be very affordable. I ordered all my parts through these guys and some very hard to find plastic shift fork retainers. They were awesome to work with and do a great service. At least give them a call and see what they want for a rebuilt kit with synchros. http://www.standardtransmission.com/

It is an auto but I have a c6 and a b&m floor shifter burning a hole in my garage floor. Even a stout crossmember for a 205 if it puts it in a different spot.

Yo tengo un NP435 con bell housing

I have a NP435 with bell housing in Houston, $200, came out of a runningish 1982 Ford Bronco!

[stx4wheeler]

Wrong bellhousing Karl.

Wrong bellhousing Karl.

Right bellhousing, wrong engine.

[KrazyKarl02]

Right bellhousing, wrong engine.

I would almost bet that Hot Pocket could use his current bell housing and bolt it to this transmission.

I'm saying the engine should be replaced as well.

[KrazyKarl02]

I'm just trying to sell a transmission.

[Seth]

should not be an expensie proposition which ever way you go. i would rebuild the current one or put in a used one.

[Hot Pocket]

I don't want to swap to an auto or to a 435. I'd like to keep it T18 for simplicity purposes. I've heard a lot of people say these things are super easy to rebuild, but I've never done something like this before, and it's definitely not something I want to have to do myself.
