It lives.

Since my last post we went to Virginia, purchased the Bronco, loaded it on a trailer, and transported it to our home in North Carolina. My father-in-law has been a great help and you might see him in a few pictures. Friday we replaced the battery, plugs, oil/filter, and coolant and it would start, but would not stay running. Saturday night we rebuilt the carburetor, and Sunday morning the 289 came to life. It starts every time on the first crank! There's still a long way to go, but it runs. I'll have more pictures soon.
