Yup - direct experience with most of those issues. Nice thing is most of that can be solved for without messing with the heads or anything. Replacing the flexible lines, adjusting the mixture, recurving the dizzy, and if you're really worried about clogging in the carb you could add a fuel...

I had a question relating to this: What mods could be made to this engine to make it more robust & suited for ethanol-supplemented fuels? replacing the flexible fuel lines are the obvious step one, thinking more along the lines of taking advantage of some of the good things about ethanol...

This is the part I'm unsure of; I'm fine clamping a soft line or whatever, it wouldn't be the first problem on this truck that I've solved with a vice grips, but I don't want to do something that could cause damage to the mechanical pump. I know that the high pressure side can handle a flow...

Fair enough! I assume it would be better for the pump to clamp the high pressure side?

Oh yeah? I'm all ears on the other ways to cut fuel, that's the only motivation I had for switching so if I can keep the current pump I'll do that.

I'm considering switching to an electric fuel pump with a ground lift switch in the cabin. The idea is that I don't drive my 60 as much as I used to (moving up north too, so it'll go all winter without being turned over). I figure with an electric pump I can kill it and run all the fuel out of...

The climate control is mostly functional in my 2000 TLC except for two issues, one constant and one intermittent. The temperature control knob is sort of broken in that it only has two modes; if I have it all the way cold then the ac works and blows cold. If I set the knob to anything aside from...

I cycled the fluid out today, made a huge difference to the ride quality and everything seems stable, way less harsh, felt like I was driving a race car in comparison to now. I'm curious about the fact that when I set the ride height high or low, it will go back to 'N' after a few minutes of...

Awesome, thank you! I just found the 'ABC's of AHC' thread right after I posted this, will run through the procedure and post back here if I run into anything concerning.

Car has 147,000 miles on it, I've only had it a few weeks at this point but am very happy with the condition of the mechanicals overall (paint's another story...) I also have a 2000 FJ100 TLC with 260,000 miles (single family owned) that I'm using as my reference. The AHC works in the LX470...

Holy s*** that's amazing.

I thought the whole purpose of driving a carbureted manual transmission vehicle in 2024 was that you don't need extra anti-theft features after that?

What does the frame look like? I'm hoping by some miracle the C channels look a lot better than body

This is awesome, good luck! These things shot up in value so much that I stopped seeing pics of FJ60's with duct tape covering rust holes, that made my day. I hope you enjoy the process, it'll be a long one, but these vehicles are worth it.

I had a conversation with JimC just the other day after noticing the exact same issue on mine (smoke billowing from the same area while looking for a vacuum leak. He strongly recommended a rebuild and recommended this repair kit, which I picked up from Rock Auto: WALKER PRODUCTS part # 15829A...
