    Going from F to 2F...help!

    I am swapping my internally broke F engine with a used 2F engine. I plan on bringing almost everything (water pump, distributer, carb, headers, alternator, etc.) across from my current engine. I am looking to put together a list of off the shelf parts I should replace while doing the swap...

    Original fuel filter location?

    Anyone know where (if you have a pic I would really appreciate it) the original location is for the bolt on inline fuel filter? I have a 73' FJ-40. I combed the web for about 10 min with no luck - only close up's and I could not figure where it mounts to the frame or engine or body. Thanks...

    Carb rebuild... issues.

    73 FJ - original F engine, dizzy, and carb. Rebuild was pretty straight forward, took my time, made sure the correct jets where in, cleaned all parts, reset linkage, float, and idle screw adjustments per my Haynes manual, consulted old threads on IH8MUD numerous times. Engine fires...

    Aisan carb jet sizes

    Well, I am going for it - rebuilding my carb. I have a 1973 FJ-40 original F engine with a #60201 Aisan Federal (U.S.A) 2 barrel carb. Ordered my Keyster rebuild kit. Off the bat I noticed that my current jet #'s / sizes do not match with the #'s / sizes in the carb kit. I confirmed with Spector...

    Newbie introduction.

    Few weeks ago I jumped right in with questions for the group without introducing myself. This is ass backwards, but here is my retroactive intro. I live Nort' near Madison Wisconsin USA. My current daily driver is a 73' that had a frame off resto about 3 years ago. I am a little...

    Dizzy voltage at start - then run.

    My cruiser is running rough. I have gone through all my ignition components. One thing I have not figured out is if my coil is suppose to see two different voltages - one while I am cranking the engine over and then another after I return the key to the RUN position after it is started. ...

    cruiser starts strong, but then...

    Cruiser starts up strong but then within about 3 seconds starts running rough and blows lots of black smoke. Can't stay running. Wait a half hour, then I can start it strong again only to have it run rough within a few seconds. I have gone through all my ignition components and figure it is...

    California or Federal points for my distributor?

    Hi all - I finally determined that my manufactured in June of 1973 FJ40 had at one point in its life had its original (centrifugal advanced) distributor swapped with a later year (november 1973 to ??) vacuum advanced distributor. Went to the parts store to get points and they asked me if I...

    Troubleshooting & solution punch lines

    Maybe this tread will stick. Venting/eduction sounding board. I recently had a odd problem with my ignition that took about 30 hours to find the smoking gun. By the time I figured it out, the thread string was so long - I figured most people would not read it and benifit from my mistake even...

    Electrical or gas? Cruiser won't start.

    4 weeks ago I purchased a 73' FJ40 to become my daily driver thus replacing a piece of my soul which was lost nearly 20 years ago when I sold my first FJ40 and have missed it ever since. Drove it 160 miles home through rain and night with no problems. Strong starter, strong runner, looks like...
