Does anyone need a 2F Toyota engine and transmission from a 1984 FJ60? The engine has 238,000 miles and runs great. The FJ60 frame rusted out and broke at the spring shackle mount while in Moab. The FJ60 body was removed and placed on a FJ80 frame. It was a fun frame chop an swap. Engine...

1982 40, but an early 60 works too

Any leads out there on a running 2F engine with less than 200k miles?

Stock rack

The driver side B pillar has a water leak above the shoulder harness and through the shoulder harness opening. I’ve tightened the roof rack bolts and the two spare roof rack mount bolts to the front and rear of the roof rack mount point, but no luck. The sun roof track area appears dry. Any...

The secondary diaphragm in my replaced (this week) USA carb was new as is my new non-USA carb just installed. The non-USA carb only has a single advance port vacuum connection similar to my 1972 's carb. So I have the advance port connected to my distributor's primary port. I'll try it to the...

John, The valves are at 8 and 14 which is the valve on the sticker under the hood. Do you think going to 16 will help?

FJC-Man, I do have the large OEM distributor. How can I slow it down. I have the VTV in the primary distributor vacuum port line. I also have the high altitude distributor port hooked up to manifold pressure to advance the HAC 6 degrees. Are there stops in the distributor that may be...

The correction factors are in this table. I happen to be a HVAC engineer and pilot that regularly uses these altitude adjustment factors. I use 0.82 as the factor for my altitude. These can also be use for compression checks at altitude and correcting the value to sea level. In the aviation...

Well, I desmogged with JimC's kit and installed a non-USA carb from City Racer. Fired right up and I tuned the timing and carb mixture. It runs well in the shop and the vacuum at idle has jumped from 14" at 7,400' ASL (17" seal level) to 16" at 7,400' ASL (19.5" at SL). In the shop, the...

Oops clarification on 14.2” at 7400’ ASL.

I am getting 14.2” vacuum at 6500’ A.S.L. which translates to 17.75” wit altitude correction. I just redid the intake manifold spray test with carb cleaner and am getting a decrease in rpm when sprayed at intake ports 1-2, 3-4 and port 5-6. I’ll try a manifold RE torque to see if it helps. May...
