      I used this product to paint my instrument panel, glove box door, ashtray door, front heater, rear heater, and side door access panels. This two part paint mixes the paint and hardener to form a paint that sets like crazy glue instead of...

      If you do go for a custom color, make sure you get the details on the formulation for future reference.

      I'd say T-310 is the authentic code for Capri blue.. EDIT: Note that somebody wrote "67-69" on this chip sheet. The note "paint code on left side firewall" was only true on later models, not my 1973 for certain. It was horizontal blue. Please...

      We have plenty in stock @ Cruiser Outfitters The 1970 should have this style which uses a thumbscrew and a small adapter into the clip of the wiper blade. https://cruiserteq.com/wiper-blade-fits-3-1969-8-1972-fj40-applications-wipb60030/

      Guys I appreciate everyone’s input. All of them I have tried with failed results. Yes my initial ask was for physical man power help. I figured with two people we can rock and shake it to insert. I’m going to attempt @whitey45 suggestion of...

      I was thinking 1/8" but I think you're right with the 1/16". I took my rocker assembly off yesterday for a lifter check so it's convenient for some comparison pics with some fittings I put together to mount a gauge temporary in the galley plug...

      73FJ40 replied to the thread 2F rocker arm shaft on a 1F.
      Yes, when @Lifelong40Fan pictured the tape measure, I was thinking into the tower below the shaft. 1/16 pipe is 1/4" OD, whereas 1/4 pipe is 3/8" OD. Given the size of the F engine oil feed tube, keeping everything small should make fit up easier.

      Yes. I was thinking of drilling down in the top of the pedestal. Now I think maybe 73FJ40 is talking about drilling into the side of pedestal #4 below the rocker to meet the existing hole. That should work also. It looks like there’s enough room...

      73FJ40 replied to the thread 2F rocker arm shaft on a 1F.
      You need to do some research, but I'd consider drill and tap the tower for 1/16" pipe (1/4 OD), use a nipple to get over towards the existing oil tube, and see if there's an elbow fitting in McMaster-Carr for the 1/16" pipe to the oil tube...

      I believe there’d be enough space for a fitting. It’d take some doing to route an oil tube, but looks like it’d work.

      Could you drill and tap the 4th rocker tower to take the oil feed from the F engine oiling tube?

      Is that a unicorn 1973 backup light being used as a test light?

      It's my understanding that the distributor driven gear keeps the camshaft properly located, along with the thrust plate at the front of the cam.

      Looks like you had the answer to your question before you asked? So, like @OGBeno asked, your title is looking for "brake drum compatibility" and it seems you are actually looking for something else...

      @flx Clarification update (in red): (Thanks to @cruisermatt for his knowledge regarding later model FJ40's) US Market FJ40 brake drums, according to Toyota parts fiche, are all the same, front, rear, all years from 6903 - 8007. FJ45 are...

      @StringSlasher Camshafts changed from F to 2F engines, relocating the drilling from the second to the third cam bearing. some cams (see below) were drilled in both locations.

      Note that the fuel pumps are available new NOT from old stock. They come in modern Toyota boxes and they are not that expensive for the piece of mind and how long they last.

      From my experience, the knock-offs are not nearly the same quality or tolerances. Keep in mind the original Toyo pump lasted 52 years (?). I have had to replace everything on our other Toyo's back to OEM because aftermarket failed-I was hoping...

      Okay, that helps. Wish I would have thought about rotating the cam while I was installing. I know mine is a chinese knock-off. Is it worth going for a NOS fuel pump? I figured by now they should be pretty close to the same quality. Good to know...
