Your 1971 VIN plate would look like this. This example is from a 72 but the same plate was used for several years prior. The Model and Frame No. information is engraved on the plate. There are several sellers on eBay that offer reproduction...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1971 FJ40 VIN Plate Help.AFAIK, those details weren't included on the VIN plate attached to the driver's A pillar on USA models. Search for @ToyotaMatt and vin plates. He used to offer them, and his thread may have pictures for 1971 (and related) VIN plates.

73FJ40 replied to the thread Is the coil supposed to electrocute me?.Looking back at your photo of the coil, it's apparent you have copious amounts of non-OEM wiring. Most advice from this forum ASSUMES you have stock wiring. What is that red rectangular box (in your photo) connected to? Is it stock for your...

73FJ40 replied to the thread Is the coil supposed to electrocute me?.IMO, counting on a ground to a painted fender on a 40 year old truck, bolted to a frame with (typically) corroded fasteners, with a sketchy ground path back to the battery, should be reconsidered.

It could be the relay, but in my experience it's always the grounds that cause blinker issues.

I believe non terminally electrocuted is called "shocked"

73FJ40 replied to the thread Is the coil supposed to electrocute me?.The word is derived from "electro" and "execution" and came into use just before New York instituted the electric chair. electrocute ĭ-lĕk′trə-kyoo͞t″ transitive verb To kill with electricity. To execute (a person sentenced to death) by means...

I am in the process of replacing all of my water hoses (main, oil cooler, heater, etc...) so I have my battery/tray/alternator/bracketry out of the way. The truck (1/80 '40) has 50K miles on it and was running great until I noticed the fuel pump...

I am a fan of the Pertronix ignition. Which distributor do you have? A stock distributor in '74 might be a vacuum retard. Which i am not a fan of. If i was you, i might call Mark A. In Burbank, Ca. And order one of his rebuilt '69 vacuum advance...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1974FJ 55 transmission and transfer case fill and drain bolt locations and Mobil 1..@cruiseroutfit (Cruiser Outfitters) has them. Note that different locations use different gaskets, steel or aluminum. Best to keep that in mind. http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/engineparts.html

73FJ40 replied to the thread Distributor identification, running issue.The "original" benefit of an external resistor on a coil was to allow for the resistor to be bypassed during starting, to get better voltage to the coil. The starter draws a lot of current when energized, and battery voltage can drop by a volt...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1971 FJ40 Positive Ground System?.@MrBG The fusible link is an excellent long term device, but the reason I suggested a regular old 20 amp fuse is that it will 'Pop" instantly on a short, and they're a lot cheaper than a fusible link. Hopefully, it won't come into play. Good...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1971 FJ40 Positive Ground System?.The OP discovered his positve battery cable was connected to the frame, and the negative cable to the starter. Since he was unfamilar with FJ40's (foreign vehicle), his question was to determine the proper convention. Note that back in early...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1971 FJ40 Positive Ground System?.@MrBG "I suggest you consider wiring a 20 amp fuse in SERIES with (I believe for 1971) your wire coming from the ammeter (possibly a white 10 gauge wire) so that if something wants to short out with the cables switched, the fuse will save your...

73FJ40 replied to the thread 1971 FJ40 Positive Ground System?.No FJ40 at least since 1969 (and likely forever) has been positive ground from the factory. Since I have no idea how much the PO changed things, your guess is better than mine on swapping back. A clue for the reason may be like you said, the...

Move out of California. That's the easiest solution for probably a bunch of problems.

The park switch on the motor provides the ground to keep the motor running until it reaches the park position where it switches and applies 12v to the low speed brush to brake the motor. Since your motor is stopping when you turn off the wipers...
