New to me '74 Bronco
My wife just bought me a '74 Bronco for my Christmas gift. It's a sweetheart! It needs some TLC, but it's in about as good of shape that you can find them in without already being restored. Came with a 4 barrel Holley carb and and Edelbrock intake.
One question about this vehicle:does anyone know if this truck needs to have the lead additive added to the gas?

RE: New to me '74 Bronco
Nice..I like the old Bronco's... They command some big bucks around here if restored.. Come to think about it,,,even un-restored..
Running lead additive certainly wouldn't hurt, but if the headshave been updated/remaned. with hard seats/valves the lead isn't needed, or if the heads haven't ever been pulled.. Most machine shops would/should have update the heads during a build unless it's a cost issue for the customer.. My 69 T/A is still runing the OEM valves/seats and the unleaded hasn't been an issue since it ran leaded fuels, nor does it run lead additive now.. If the heads/valves were to be ground, with no hard parts installed, then lead is a must tokeep the valves from burning.. But, you could error to the side of caution and use it....
Congrats on the new rig...
