Recently, I have been able to work on my Bronco which has been in storage almost since I bought it five years ago. The VIN identifies the engine as a 170, but upon further investigation it has a 200.
My plans are to identify this engine, perform a compression test, and determine what carb is best for me. I can't afford any performance upgrades, but I don't see that as a reason not to talk about em'. I don't plan to wheel this Bronco. I'm going to use it as a daily driver and keep it uncut. Any help, ideas, and/or pointers are much appreciated.
Current info:
Block Casting I believe this is a 1978 200CID
11
D8BE
6015-GE
Head Casting
EOBE6090-BB
Carb ID Tag
Motorcraft
E1BE AFA
A OK 30

Another note: The Bronco started a few months ago, but now it won't. The engine will fire when pouring a little gas in carb, but won't stay running. Checked fuel pump and replaced the fuel filter, but it seems like it's not getting gas. I don't know if it's worth trouble shooting this carb or replacing it with a different more appropriate carb.
