I have a few questions, hopefully you all can help....
1974 FJ40
1. What are these items and where do they go?
2. I finally got my Autometer 1309 kit in today.
Speedo/tach + Quad combo gauges. I opened the kit today and upon searching through the accessory parts I came across what I think is the water temp sending unit. However within the bag was this wire "thingy." What does it do? Is it supposed to be inside the sender? Is it broken? Both ends have the same taper to it.
3. Can anyone post pictures of the rear lift door catch? Not the hinge striker inside the door but the catch mounted onto the tub.
4. AFAIK I have a SBC 350 mated to the stock Toyota 4 speed. I dont know what adapter I have. I already have a fabbed up bracket in place to run the slave cylinder. Can I use the stock toyota slave cylinder?
5. Vented gas cap. Which one. My fuel sep is cracked, no charcoal canister. Im in CA but am smog exempt. Some say dont use it, no problem. Others say hunt down the stock pieces but good luck doing so. Ive read the posts, orig toyo parts does/nt work, buy a stant and drill. I need part numbers and definite know how from people that are running venter caps or modified.
Thanks in advance, like my other posts have stated im new to the 40 world. Picked up the project in pieces without any prior knowledge on how to put one back together. Im pretty much going off all the info I read here as well as searching through pictures upon pictures.
I have selective obsessive compulsive disorder that thankfully only kicks in when im restoring my own projects. Ive tried reading through all the posts but im spent at this point. I refinished my hardtop over the weekend and im painting it this friday. Im also building my exhaust and finalizing my doors and throwing them on as well with the bonnet/front clip. I also need to finish my mojave heater mount and hook up the hoses, hook up driveshafts, etc.....
Ive had the rig for 2 months come this weekend. I want to get her running this weekend.
This is where im at
