Howell EFI Breathes Fresh Life Into The Iconic First-Generation Ford Bronco

Since Ford decided to resurrect the legendary Bronco name for an all-new rugged, offroad-capable sport utility vehicle, there’s been renewed interest in the Bronco’s long and storied lineage – and deservedly so, because the classic Ford Bronco is a true dream machine. Owners are treated to a handsome, maneuverable four-wheel-drive overlander with a custom ladder frame and a choice of plucky six- and eight-cylinder engine options. But as with any aging vehicle, the question with first-generation Ford Bronco ownership eventually becomes: how do you improve the reliability and drivability of the vehicle without ruining its character? The classic Ford Bronco is by this point half-a-century old, after all, and while Ford’s engineers did a remarkable job designing it, they were constrained to the technologies of the day: carburetors, point-style distributors, and the like.

Driving Safely in Winter Weather – To Grandma's House We Go!

One of the joys of the holiday season is the opportunity to see family and friends that live far away. Unfortunately, this often involves more than a simple journey of “over the river and through the wood.” Crowded highways are the new normal, resulting in greater exposure to potential accidents. Many drivers will be travelling in unfamiliar areas, which could lead to distractions from checking the GPS. Winter weather can be unpredictable, making the roads themselves dangerous, and there is always the unfortunate possibility that revelers will hit the road before they’ve completely sobered up. The best defense against unforeseen misfortune is preparedness. If you take the time to prepare your vehicle and make sure your coverage is up to date, you’ll be able to hit the road with confidence!

Add Stopping Power and Style With Disc Brakes Australia's Street Series

When gearheads open their wallets and bank accounts for car upgrades, most of us have speed on the brain. New engine parts, power adders, and aero trickery are just a few of the categories we click when shopping for ways to improve our ride. But those of use with a few years behind the wheel know that better stopping power can sometimes be a better spend of money. To paraphrase an old Pirelli tag line, power is nothing without control.

How To Protect Yourself From the Amazon Fake Seller Scam

While we were working on our annual Black Friday deal guide, we started to run across a startlingly large number of a specific kind of Amazon scam. Rather than the phishing, credit card, or text scams that usually make the news, these come from fly-by-night sellers with amazing deals, popping up right now during the first rush of holiday shopping. They have listings for legitimate products, but their prices undercut all the real sellers. What’s worse, Amazon’s algorithms that recommend products and sellers sometimes bring these scams to the front, scooping up enough sales to make a profit and disappear before the retailer catches on and bans them. But by then, it’s too late: They’ve got the payments, and are busy coming up with their next grift.

How to Customize Your BMW or Mini From Your Smartphone

Back in the day, vehicle customization was only possible through physically accessing and modifying the systems within your car. If you wanted, say, sequential turn signals, you had no option but to purchase specially manufactured lamps from an aftermarket manufacturer and install them. But as the auto industry has become ever more reliant on embedded computers, the door has been left open to software customization. Suddenly, kids with laptops and OBD dongles are concocting all sorts of clever ways of modifying their cars’ programming to unlock new features and implement custom routines, and as time goes on, the tools are only getting better.
