    Heat Shield for Holley Sniper Carb on 1972 FJ40 1F

    I used adhesive heat reflecting material on the bottom of the Sniper and the fuel rail on my 2F. Cheap and easy.

    2F engine compression

    They look similar to mine - 1975 2F, 150k miles, engine had been rebuilt sometime in the past. My numbers were between 156 and 170.

    Holley Sniper Tuning

    My experience has been the same in my '75 with the Sniper over the last 600 miles. They do reward having a good condition battery and cables. When running, mine is ~ 12.5 amps. At initial start up, charging is at 14.5.

    SUA Spring Perch

    The screwed up perch is the result of the PO fitting the wrong size for a 2.75” wide spring. I will be cutting down a longer SOA perch to fit a SUA set up.

    SUA Spring Perch

    Well be surprised. The answer is no. I will check a couple of other places and if the answer is no elsewhere, I will see if I can find somewhere to cut this down to 4.5" for me.

    FJ40 vs GX470

    I've owned both. The 40 definitely is cooler and a tough vehicle, but it is crude - one step above a tractor. You have to be willing to accept that every day of your ownership. If you are not, then don't go down that route. The GX is refined, and as long as it is maintained, reliable. If...

    SUA Spring Perch

    Yes - Modifying this SOA application appears to be the only option. I'm reaching out to see if I can special order something, having them to cut it before shipping.

    I'm a little OCD, so I like to use the proper sized width.

    SUA Spring Perch

    Running a SUA with 4" Alcan lift with Bilstein shocks on my '75. PO put in a 3" wide front spring perch in a 2.75" wide gap resulting in a bowed and misaligned piece of metal. I'm going to have Deaver remove the springs to check over (which are in near new condition) and replace all the...

    Rear Brake Line route

    My understanding is that it was purchased directly from Wilwood - Front - 1690; Rear 2490w.

    Rear Brake Line route

    Hi All - I just had all the brakes on my '75 converted to disks. The pictured rear driver side brake line goes over the axle between the hanger and the bump stop. Not good at full articulation. My thought is to have a 90 degree fitting that allows it to go down the front side of the axle...
