:confused:
I have a 74 Bronco w/ stock 302 , it has the electronic ignition and is dead in the water ! I've replaced the ignition switch , solenoid, ignition box and have had the alternator checked. The
alternator is a 140 amp Powermaster w/ one wire hookup . I'm at
the end of my rope with this and am eager to get back to wheelin'
Any help at all would be appreciated . Also, the battery is fairly new and there is no draw on the electrical system . I still haven't
checked the starter but that is next ! thanks:flipoff2:

Are you saying it's not cranking?

If it cranks but will not start, and your sure the box is good, you have power, the dist connenctions are good,,,, it most likely is the dist pick up. I've had two burn up in 8 years,, Not bad really... But very confusing. The last one died the second I shut the motor off in a stor parking lot,, came back out and it would not start.. WTF? it ran just a min ago.....LOL tracked it down to the dist,, spare was at home in the wheeling gear... Any way.. pick up is about $36, reman dist is about $70 . I keep a dist in the spares box, cap/rotor and all. So check that pick up. And it's a little rubics cube deal to replace it.. If you end up doing that. Ask, I'll post some tips.

Edit, cuz my fat fingers can't hit the keys correctly....

It wont turn over w/ the key but if I jump the solenoid poles it will
turn over . With the key in the run position it wont start but a buddy is coming by tomorrow and we'll have a few :beer: and
maybe get this trappy ass Ford going again . Thanks for the tip on the distributor tip and I' ll post back if I have any luck . :beer:

You have an old Bronco with a corroded ignition switch. Bet if you fill it with WD40 and work it awhile it might just start.

Yeah, sounds like the ignition switch. Check the green/red (I think) wire to see if it gets 12 volts when you put the key to crank. It's not your alternator or anything else, so don't worry.
