    VSV valve

    Under what conditions should the vsv open up the vent line from the charcoal filter to the manifold vacuum? Mine is a deamogged April 77’ 40. Gas tank is getting pressurized like crazy. I can easily draw air (fumes) by sucking on the line. It’s clear. The VSV is just not opening it up...

    Vacuum leak or carb, or both?

    I’d lean towards fuel system clog. Ran to the bottom of the tank and sucked something into the lines. Could have made it to the carb. I’d start simple and change the fuel filter. As far as the manifold gasket…. I switched mine out without machining the surface. Used an oem replacement...

    Oil Pan Gasket AND???

    That makes tons of sense. I pretty much cranked it until the wood was deforming the pan and called it. Slowing that burn makes sense. I also just sourced the pan removal tool. Between those two suggestions I’m sure I’ll get it off on my next free day.

    Oil Pan Gasket AND???

    We’ll I might just live with the drips for a while longer. I tried pounding, prying, heat, cold and the jack against the frame and the damn thing didn’t even budge. I dented the side of the pan even with the wood block in between the metal and jack…. It’s real stuck. Looks like my question...

    Oil Pan Gasket AND???

    I'm theoretically dropping the pan for the first time in 44 years. Not real excited about the job based on my reading on mud but the drips are driving me nuts. Any suggestions on anything else that I should do while the pan is off? anything thats made easier while its out of the way?

    Original or new? Opinions?

    My wife is less than thrilled with the idea of a second set! I’m going to powder coat the new rims and see if I like it more. I’m loving the ride and missing the look. In the big picture it’s a small problem to have… paint is LR marine blue. My best shot at Cadet Blue.

    Original or new? Opinions?

    Those are great options but spendy. Any tips/success with tacking on hubcap clips? @WarDamnEagle how skinny did you go? Mine are 9.5” and stay inside the wells. Still turns well enough….

    Original or new? Opinions?

    I acquired a set of 16” rims and new tires and was fired up by the new ride and options opened up by the 16’s. Nice guy gave me a great deal. But….now I’m mourning the look of the originals…. Thoughts on getting new rims powder coated the correct color and having hub cap clips tacked on...

    Capped port?

    Maybe capped is the way to go.

    Capped port?

    Nope. Normal US spec. Odd.

    Capped port?

    Can anyone educate me on where this capped port is supposed to connect? I have an 4/77 40 that still has all the emissions equipment installed. I’m replacing all my vacuum lines and in looking through my manual I realized this port had incorrectly been attached to my TP diaphragm. I’ve...

    Hardtop Clamps

    Anyone had success (or failure) using truck canopy clamps on a 40 hardtop? Replace the bolts and save a little time on removal/install? any specific ones that are recommended?

    77 2f carb adjustments

    Looks like your the man in this particular arena. Got one for my 4/77 40? What’s the best way for me to go about buying?

    77 2f carb adjustments

    I’m 4/77. The idle speed screw being horizontal is what’s really strange to me. It’s cast so there’s no screwing it up on a rebuild. Makes me wonder where this thing came from.

    77 2f carb adjustments

    I think this is approaching a foregone conclusion. I need to get a rebuilt original. Any suggestions on where/who? I need it ASAP!
