I had a '72 429 in my Bronco, when I first bought it. What a turd. Thankfully, it's since done itself in, and has been replaced with a '70 429. MUCH better than before

I HAD thought about doing everything the techinspector has suggested, but had decided that spending $500 for a rebuilt '70 with 30K on the clock, was a far better, and easier, deal
