Doesn't CruiserMatt sell the round connectors? And someone else, does too... One of the electric guys from the 40 forums, Coolerman maybe?
When i was fixing my 80 pickup at of folks suggested cutting out the Toyota connector and substituting...
Still no joy, I slapped a generic fuel filter on it for now, hopefully someone has a Pic of the location on a early fj60.
I guarantee I'm gonna feel like an idiot when I finally find it... Sigh.
I think I've got it mostly hooked back up from the diagrams in another post , but I can't seem to find the filter that the thinner line off the distributor gets connected to.
Where would I find it in the truck? The image looked like it should...
I was swapping the vent lines on the charcoal canister, and noticed these loose vac lines tucked underneath it.

Thanks
Then I guess I'll not bother with the tutorial, it's a lot more work than just doing one for myself.I'd never have used the Amazon leather, I just used it to make this more accessible to folks who've never done this kind of thing. I have plenty...
I had a few failures trying to get the grip diameter to match my leather stretch on a 70mm piece, using the cheap Amazon leather, ripping the leather on my second attempt, so I went back to basics, a 65mm, 70mm and 75mm test piece, because I...

If the 85 still has glass tube fuses, take them out one by one, clean the contacts with fine sand paper and replace with brand new fuses.. 9n my fj40 this fixed 80% of my weird electrical gremlins.. First thing I did on the 60.

SpikeStrip, just wanted to say your thread just saved my booty.
Bought and threw in a decent Beck Arnley fuel filter, after reading this thread.
Cheap fram fuel filter cracked, letting air in, 60 died like I threw a switch.It was 4 years old...
So I do a bit of leatherwork, and I made my own Leather steering wheel cover for my FJ40.
I'm starting the process of making one for my Fj 60.
My plan is to (slowly) document the process here on this thread so other folks can do it too.
I'm...
My drivers windshield squirter is more just a dribbler and a stopper at the moment.
I disconnected and cleaned the metal squirter nozzle, but still nothing.
I think the problem is the fitting on the short hose going to the nozzle.. It appears...
Thanks Everyone, I need to nut up again and take on bigger projects, but not being able to bring the truck in the garage to work at my pace + HOA means I'm going to throw money at this one. I did get the PS leak tackled I think.
I bought a big...
