that pipe above the filter looks like a giant vac leaker

IMO sounds like a vac leak… did you check around intake… carb gasket… brake booster? Carb have any vac ports not capped ?

Think this one will maybe make it close to Fla.?

Would still like to see what the ammeter is showing--voltage doesn't tell the full story here. With a battery at 11.8 volts at start, you should see the ammeter jump up to almost pegged at 30(it may wiggle around a bit as the VR adjusts) while at...

Think Advance is phasing out regular oil--going all synthetic

Unless I wrong this hole is below the driver's seat? The seats mount above the fuel take. There wouldn't be a drain in that location when right in front of it is the footwell which is quite a bit lower.

My 72 has factory dished drain holes that size more towards the front, like right below the dash and 1.5" from the doors.

Found this at a used car place in Ft. Myers-posting it in case someone close is interested - can get more pics if needed. Not mine--got some bondo on the back door area, both front doors need weatherstrip, but they seem solid--has front door vent...

That fuelpump diaphragm failure/leaking into oilpan thing is not very common, but it is a possibility so we have to mention it. We already know why your oil was overfull this time so there's no mystery. I wouldn't open my fuel pump unless I...

Stock. Rebuild kits are readily available.

happy post--After the booster loose line thought I had it but same thing--pulled plugs--all good-compression all 120 except #6 low put back together and did more squirting this time_ when the booster area sprayed the engine quit--pulled the hose...

Found the booster line clamp broke and hose loose- prob why the carb spray caused the stumble-all fixed--try tomorrow to see if that helped

Fuel flow to carb is good using the elect pp---oops the video is too big--will take still shot so the flow is visible--plugs out next and comp check, then start rotating to get at timing marks

not timing yet, trying to get at the easy stuff first- plus the truck was ok the night before(the dizzy is tight as to being able to turn it in the hole-vac advance plate operation is smooth). weber inlet fine screen filter was clean, next will...

this is great-didn't know it could be chek'd without dismantle

that I will do today!

Didn't see any dangling hoses-all are connected-carb spray everywhere I could think of-only place that made even a little diff in idle rpm was around the brake booster vac connection( and that is very close to the weber carb inlet). just strange...

Not sure this sounds like a "backfire" but you may have a point with the spark advance. no major vac leak using carb cleaner spray around the manifolds or carb base - plugs coming out today(pics coming)

looking for the rear kick-out vent window latches-fit a 77 40--=any yr past 76 should work

Hi all, Got a strange prob w/my 77 FJ40. yesterday, everything was running fine-- this AM I go out, start it up - all looks good-idle at 700, vac at 20" smooth idle. Raise engine rpm to about 1100, and vac starts dropping little more throttle and...
