Interested in the f engine intake manifold shipped to 80903.

T-handles Looking for the T shaped handles on early bench seats (my rig is a 1969 FJ40). How about a 4-speed transmission?

2X on that gorgeous shop!

It took me a while to figure this out (I'm slow sometimes) - everyone says to hit it with a hammer, I was hitting straight down on the end on the stud, but what you want to do is to hit perpendicular to the stud, which moves the stud side-to-side, and they pop right out. I have a big brass drift...

I like the flange idea. I think I'll give it a try!

great thread - it is getting me inspired to get mine going. I've been collecting parts for a while now.

Magnetman - if it were me, I'd go 1,5,6 on your list. Rust bullet want's bare metal or rust, not on top of primer. Check out rust bullet's website (Rust Inhibitor Paint | Stop Rust | Rust Corrosion Inhibitor | Rust Converter).

My fuel line on my '69 looks completely different, it is a clear (was clear) plastic looking hose. So I'm guessing mine isn't stock? I'll try to get a picture of it, but it is under the seat...

The oil around the manifold is probably from a leaking valve cover gasket - F engines are known for leaky valve covers (read Mark's FAQ section on his website (the poster above me - he's a LC guru - take his advise - it's GOLD) - http://www.marksoffroad.net/FAQ.html - I learned alot from this -...

I've used rust bullet, and compared the prep involved vs. POR-15 (rust bullet has way less prep), and I've used Eastwoods rust encapsulaor (they also have a rust coverter product, used before the encapsulator - check out www eastwood.com for their rust solutions). The Eastwood was the easiest...

Also on the compression test, warm up the engine first. If you get a low reading on a cylinder, squirt in some oil and retest. If the number go up, it's rings. If the numbers stay the same, it's a valve(s).

Got the money order, I'll drop it in the mail Monday. Thanks - Bruce

I'll take 'em. PM sent.

I pretty sure I bought my WS from $OR (I'm in parts gathering mode), I'll have to check and see what I bought. I think I bought everything but the windshield one. No doubt this post will help. I didn't even know those tools (except for the hook) existed, so it's a big help right there. I...
