    Steering pop

    I have a '75 with an SBC and a Saginaw conversion. Recently I've noticed a pop in the steering when I'm parked (engine running) and turning the steering wheel. I've Traced it to my leaf springs. It seems that the leaf springs actually shift when I'm turning the wheels and cause the pop. Is...

    Saginaw P.S. Chirps?

    I had the exact same problem with my Saginaw conversion. I checked alignment, belt tension, and pulley slip as a possibility. None of those fixed the problem. I also had my ps cooler located near the top of my radiator, so I suspected a suction pressure issue. I relocated my cooler closer to the...

    Electric fan wiring

    Hello all, I have an electric switch mounted on my '40 to help keep the SBC cool. I have an aluminum radiator with a probe that is mounted through the radiator to turn the fan on and off. I also have a manual "on" switch in the cab. I've noticed that my temperature gauge seems to rise...

    Saginaw conversion help

    Thanks for the help guys. I guess it was a loose belt. I removed the belt and re-tightened it and havent had trouble with it yet. I know I had the belt tight enough to begin with, but I'm thinking that I didn't tighten the tensioning bolt properly, so the belt may have loosened. Thanks again...

    Saginaw conversion help

    Hello all, I just finished my saginaw PS conversion this weekend but am having one small problem. Occassionally, I hear a squeel when I turn the wheel. The first time I noticed it, I assumed that my belt was not tensioned properly. After further investigation, the pulley actually stops...

    ABS Door Panels

    I'm in Norman and I have a set of doors for a '75 that I'd be glad to let you borrow as long as I can have them back. The bottom is a little rough, but not too bad. PM me if you're interested. I travel to Stillwater quite a bit for work. zglad

    FJ40 anti-freeze odor mystery...

    I've had some luck in other vehicles adding some ultra violet die in the radiator, driving it for a week or so, then looking with a black light to see what glows. I found a small intake mainfold leak that way. I don't know if it will work for you. The local parts house had the die. Good...

    sagninaw input shaft u-joint options

    Thanks for the input! The Downey shaft is a hex shaped shaft, so it sounds like I need to send it back if I go with someone else's kit.

    Mini Truck Power Steering Box

    Does anyone have advice on rebuilding a power steering box out of an 85 mini truck? I bought one a few years ago and disassembled it to replace a seal, but in the process, managed to get all of the little loose steel ball bearings to fall out. I'm pretty sure that I can get it back together...

    Fuel tank question

    I have a '75 40, and about 6 months ago I removed the fuel tank to do some reconditioning on the transmission cover. I put the tank back in today, but there are four small (1/4" or so) hard lines that come out of the tank closest to the passenger door. The PO had two of these looped together...

    Mini truck steering

    Thanks everyone. One more thing. Is there anything that I should be aware of before I try and tear this thing apart? I don't have a mini-truck shop manual or exploded drawing of parts, and I haven't looked at it too close yet, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to do more damage...

    Fuel Gauge Problems

    To eliminate the ground, I usually just run a wire with alligator clips to the - side of my battery and to the ground wire in question. If the gauge works, you have a bad ground. zglad
