That's a big plus. Back in '75 I had my '66 Mercury Cyclone GTA in southern Nevada for a summer job. One day I discovered a cracked fuel bowl in the stock 650 CFM Holley 4-bbl. carburetor. I was working and living ~65 miles from town, so I only...

OK - One more problem behind me. The rig starting having issues where it would crank but not start. I've already been though all of the sensors in the water jacket, MAF , had a new fuel pump put in etc. etc. etc. Took it to a buddy that is a...

Trip up to my secret spot after work.

I've set all the distributors I've refurbished so there's about 3.8mm of travel - that corresponds to roughly 10 degrees vacuum advance.

Turns out i was misinterpreting the values on the timing light. What i thought was 7 to 10, was actually 14-17. With it actually now at 10 btdc, everything seems happy

It’s an OME specific issue where the rear axle is slightly forward instead of centered in the wheel well opening. Just tell your mechanic to drill a new hole 1” forward of the center hole in your spring perch.

Crawfish looks appetizing! One of my favorite things about living in New Orleans for five years was the crawfish boils. One hour twenty minutes non-stop gorging, followed by a twenty minute break, then another twenty minutes of gorging to wrap...

Reach out to this guy: @4Cruisers - Rebuilt an '86 FJ60 dizzy a few years ago when I installed it along with a Holley Sniper setup on my 40.

Had some friends over today. The neighbors probably thought I had lost my mind and bought one of every color.

I think the fresh carburetor rebuild did the trick. Plus I adjusted the valves. I got the 2F running like a top.

I got mine and im still amazed that saudi toyota dealer still sell it! thanks for the lead sir

problem solved, junk yards are full with new damaged 70s series

SOR and Man-a-fre used to sell Delco Remy replacements. Not sure why anyone would do that, but they did. I pulled one off a 72 I had and put OEM back on. @4Cruisers has rebuilt and upgraded OEM for sale now and then. @65swb45 Mark probably has a...

Doing some work with Mason @landsnoozer . He’s the Nephew of a long time good friend of mine. He’s a first year fireman in Austin and just bought his first LC. He’s knee deep into some baselining with me and “eyes wide open”. I hate to say he’s...

I got him all set up with a refurbished '78 distributor.

4”x4” lumber fits nicely inside 4”x1/8” square steel tubing and would make the entire assembly a piece of cake. I’ve been meaning to revisit that sometime and make a thread.

Your rotisserie looks really good. I got the first parts this morning (from Amazon) for the rotisserie I need to fabricate for my '71 FJ40 build - just the four caster wheels. For the rest I'll scrounge from the scrap wood and metal I've...

Fuel pump failed in my tundra. Original pump did 290k miles. Can’t complain. It failed at the house and which was a plus. Gave me ample warning. Surging at higher rpms. Took some digging to find one. Back ordered. Dropped the tank and put whole...

I’ve got oil!

Next time you're in the neighborhood I'll take you up for a visit to Walt's cabin. Although not captured in a movie or on TV, Land Cruisers have been spotted in the area on occasion.

Fuel Lines I went to put the air cleaner on last night and realized I needed to re-bend the new hard fuel line. Long story short, I ended up bending three and learning a few things along the way. Using a vice to hold the bender made it much...

Ever since I drove my Landcruiser to Texas in 2005, I’ve known that there are actually TWO kinds of tall tales: the ‘once upon a time’ variety and the ‘y’all ain’t gonna believe this sh-t’ type. Well, this story definitely falls under the second...

I think I just got the answer (there's a seal) through this excellent YouTube video:

I think I just got the answer (there's a seal) through this excellent YouTube video:

I'm lubricating the front driveshaft on my '93 4-Runner (with basically the same double cardan joint as in the early FJ60s) and have a question. I used my grease gun to add grease to the U-joints on the double cardan joint and everything went...
