Part C.

I hope I didn't derail things by making the water muddy. The literature/illustrations for wiring gets tricky, because the 'wiring diagram' does not illustrate the harness layout. The 'wiring diagram' is merely a circuit diagram. On USA-spec...

Drain plug or fill plug? Don't need a P/N, call Cruiser Outfitters. I always carry spares...

I wouldn’t mess with that dented up quarter panel, that is some major trail cred all of the mall crawlers will be jealous of.

Got our rear axle buttoned up and back on the ground. Still need a brake line. All new bearings seals, brakes re built, rebuilt wheel cylinders, new shoes, turned drums, new drain plug, new lug nuts, painted wheels, new to us tires… rolling on...

A second honeymoon...

Thanks @Pighead that makes sense. No grease zerk but I’ll try and lube up the rotating part. And the hoist on front is a good idea

Can you/do you need to grease up that rotating section of the engine stand? Sometimes there's a zerk for that. A straight 6 on an engine stand always makes me nervous. That stand looks pretty good, should handle it no problem. I've only had a...

I like real gauges with numbers. Stock gauges are notoriously slow and inaccurate. A good mechanical oil pressure gauge is a must in any car I want to keep. I like coolant temp gauges too. Other gauges are handy but not as important. There's not...

i got the new fuel pump, spacer, and gaskets a couple days ago and got around to installing it this morning. cranked the engine and it started up after only 10-15 times turning over. i was surprised, i thought it would take longer to prime the...

I think I have finally located the line. It is a very fine line. Knowing it was located close to the BB hole (~3/4"-1" away) I was able to closely focus on that area through the window as I lightly turned the crank. Had a lot of light on it...

I agree. Every Cruiser I own and my sons FJ60 have been de smogged and converted to a cable throttle with a 1969-74 1F Carb. They work Great on the later 2F motors. Easy to rebuild and tune.

Wow so they really are early then, I will have to offer them to my grandpa for his 25 maybe he could use them!

Some info on early hubs down in the 25 section... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/early-hub-depository.825602/

Clutch hose? Ain't clutch hoses the same as brake hoses? Same ends and all...So any Toyota flexible brake line will work. Some of the good race shops will have them hanging on the wall, you choose the length. A hose shop will make one up while...

Reporting back: all the pan bolts were loose; I think the gasket settling compressed some, leaving enough room for it to leak through. Retorqued them to spec, so we'll see where we land next. Thanks for the pointers, everyone!

Mine...

Might be from the timing cover too. I'd just snug up all the bolts in the area, I don't think it's unusual at all to need to re-torque fasteners on a new rebuild. I think it's sorta routine. Especially the cork pan gasket, those bolts want to be...

Well, shoot. I was blissfully unawares of wear problems on the rear Poly shafts. I've been running them for 15 or 20 years. Don't think I've looked at them in 15 or 20 years. Darn it, one more thing I gotta take apart and check. Thank you.

What does that diaphragm and linkage do? Do you need it? There was a similar diaphragm on my 10/'73 called a "throttle positioner", I didn't think it was needed so I took it off. But if it's for your secondary, I guess you might need that...

Does it have to be '76 and later to fit? I like the early '70s Aisan carb with the mechanical secondary, I don't trust the vacuum secondary. I don't trust the cut-off solenoid either and it's easy to delete on the earlier carbs. So I did that. I...

My 12/'74 was originally grey/white.

I fixed the parking brake indicator light.

If yall sall the collection of trucks and mr2s I have you’d understand I’m not right in the head lol. But yea I’ll probably start at $1000 to see what he says but if he’ll do 1500 is still vote. Dont plan on going over 1500 though I’ve bought worse…
