I have a fuel pressure gage on the carb body that is showing around 60 PSI during idle. It starts right up and revved fine but as I drove it around the neighborhood (1/4 mile) it started acting like it was fuel starving. I was getting yellow and red AFR/AF warnings on the hand held screen. It...

I have a 4/72 FJ40 that now has a 5.7 SBC engine with a Holley Sniper 1. I have also included a picture of the fuel original tank. The engine starts and idles fine, but as soon as I drive the vehicle, it acts like its fuel starved. There is no fuel supply port on the bottom of the tank other...

WOW! Yes this is very helpful. I have been trying to come up with some way to keep the ammeter working, but after reading your post and others, this is just not a good idea. I might see about getting the ammeter changed to a volt meter. Are you keeping your Sniper screen in the cab permanently...

I ran into your post while searching FJ40 ammeters. I have a 4/72 FJ40 that I have done the 350 SBC/NV4500 conversion. I now have a single wire 150 AMP alternator and had the exact same questions as above. I have spent quite a bit of time studying the 72 wiring diagram and really don't have a...

I have a 4/72 FJ40 build date. I fnally put the brake lines from Specter Off Road on in the last couple of days. Here is my findings. Good: Correct type fittings Good quality and workmanship Tagged and well marked for location on the vehicle Everything was there and for my specific vehicle. It...

Rainman recently (within last 45 days) emailed me he was no longer making any brake lines. Too Bad for us.

I just recieved my steel brake lines from Specter Off Road yesterday. I hope to install them this coming week. I compared the fittings from the old ones to the new, and the look the same. I will keep you posted on how this all goes.

I saw no reviews so that made me suspicious. After market parts are often poor quality and this is not just in the landcruiser restoration world. Thank you for the response. You saved me a lot of time , $$$ and aggrevation.

Not nesessary to measure but thanks. This is what mine look like. I don't like lifting vehicles in general. It creates a litney of problems. I am going to go back to close to the original stance. I just have not decided on which shackles and I will probably get new springs too.

Devo- Thanks for your response. I was thinking about this kit. Has anyone used this?

Does anyone have experience with Cruiser Corps stainlees steel hard brakeline kit? I'm talking about quality and fit. My 72 FJ40 will be driven in the snow so I was considering upgrading to stainlees over steel. Here the info from Cruiser Corps site: BRAKE LINES - FJ40 1971-1975 No reviews...

I really like the stance of your FJ40. Mine is lifted 2.5" with monster shackles and it looks RIDICULOUS! What shackles do you have?

OK Thanks. Tomorrow is my 38th wedding anniversary so I may have to call in the next couple of day but I will call.

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I am going to put an SBC V8. I SWORE I WOULD NEVER DO THIS TO MY BABY!! But I went through every mental machination possible from Toyota engines, to an OM617 and other diesels. I was really leaning toward a turbo diesel. What made the decision for me is that...
