mat in tn Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 My bronco came with a really souped up 400 with a lot of fancy high end parts…. I sold the non running 400 and it’s parts but a few things are still around… Anyway, this one starter is still around… anyone know anything about it?? will the tci starter not fit the 460? I would use it immediately if it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viven44 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 will the tci starter not fit the 460? I would use it immediately if it fits. I have not tried.... in fact I forgot about it. I was looking yesterday after my starter smoking incident to see if I had a spare... I have a couple of spares... but it looks like this one would fit.. It is also one which has the "solenoid/relay" or whatever that is built into it, so wiring changes are in order.. thus.. a mental holdup from trying it thus far....

As long as the 400, 429, 460 are the same (manual or automatic) that high torque, clockable Tilston style starter is TWTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the wiring should be relatively easy. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/pmgr-starter-wiring.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Thanks Gentlemen! Yes the wiring should be relatively easy. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/pmgr-starter-wiring.html Glad you found that page, Vivek. Was just about to point it out. But you can confirm starter interchanges on our page at Documentation/Interchange/Starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Thanks Gentlemen! Yes the wiring should be relatively easy. https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/pmgr-starter-wiring.html If you are real lucky and find a later truck that came with the PMGR starter, get the starter harness if if hasn't been cut. The relay end is a molded piece with the two large terminals to go right onto the relay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny G Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 If you are real lucky and find a later truck that came with the PMGR starter, get the starter harness if if hasn't been cut. The relay end is a molded piece with the two large terminals to go right onto the relay. No rest for the weary. I think I have what is the fuel system control harness out. AC and dash box is out. Dug some of the compost out of the cavity in the footwell. That looks to be still solid down there. I'm thinking some 80mesh screen is about to get welded into the cowl or that pocket to prevent that from happening again. I didn't remove the fender to get the box out used a combo of flex extensions and unis. The upper passenger bolt has a nut on the back instead of a nut plate. That took some effort to grab through the air box. If the damper door was closed it would have been impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always fun when the entire vehicle is built around 'X'. Heater core on the firewall above the tunnel on later Ford vehicles comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
