Maybe 1 (or both)of the arms is slipping on the shaft that grips that wiper arm? On my 71, 1 wiper would move a bit then stop while the other flapped away.The gear (inside the motor casing) that attaches to the wiper arm shaft was slipping.Its a pressed fit but eventually it loosened.Had to get...

My 350 was overheating also. Changed the thermostat(195) and took the rad out and flushed it out at both ends.Saw alot of crud blocking the tubes when I took the rad cap off to drain the coolant for the Tstat replacement. Made a big difference. I also added some fiberglass blankets to my header...

I have an Edelbrock LED air/fuel monitor. When Im idling or let off the gas the LEDs light properly(~13). But when Im cruising or accelerating the LED's don't light at all Is this normal? Just don't want to be running lean I just threw in an Edelbrock carb in place of a Holley.The Holley was...

Well, Im just going to remove the hose and see what I got. Fuel pump just went down with the bismark so the FJ will be idle for a bit The braided hose I bought did come with a copper washer so it might all work out

You are correct I haven't actually taken it apart yet.Trying to minimize downtime so I thought someone might recognize what hose I actually have. I just looked at the slave again and the way it is now the pushrod is at a bit of an angle . If I flip it, the pushrod will be at a much worse...

The clutch engagement works fine as it is.I just need to replace the hose before it explodes. I just don't know what hose fitting size is at the slave end. The current setup is with a SBC and stock 3 speed tranny

So the slave is friggin upside down?:mad: Not my doing I just might order 1 of those "all in one" combos-master to braided hose to slave Thanks for the heads up

I noticed the hose from clutch master hard-line to slave is dry rotting and want to replace it. Ordered a stainless from SOR for my 71 and found a problem with the fitting going into the slave.It's too small. Curious as to what year slave I might have or is it a Non-LC slave altogether. Here's...

I posted a follow up but I guess it was lost in the reboot. My passenger side did not work.The inner shaft that drives the arm is connected to a gear inside the casing. If you take the inner cover off-5 scews(after disconnecting the outside nuts and removing the wiper arms) the shaft assembly...

around the block today.It isn't registered yet due to all the electrical gremlins that would have failed inspection.Well, 4 weeks later Ive got everything working properly. Took it for a ride around my street and Im a bit puzzled at the lack of speed.It's a 71,3 speed on floor,vac Xfer, SBC...

Did a search online and saw this little write up.Catalog Sounds like to me that the link is saving the main power lead feeding the dash from completely burning up.With the link at the battery you pretty much lose the fuselink wire and thats about it(hopefully). Also, noted 2 things in the write...

Is a fuseable link a requirement or can one use an inline blade type fuse harness? Nut

Like someone already mentioned, you need to address this problem ASAP.Fuel leaks are dangerous, especially when its near an exhaust system.Don't forget about why the leak occurred in the first place.You may fix the leak but did you fix the real problem. Does the line look melted or does it look...

Wow, I can't believe how drippy-droopy the back end looks in my photo.Yuch.Tires were aired down to get it on a truck from Oregon.I haven't driven it other than down my street and it seemed fine but I haven't hit any rough terrain yet.Just finished rewiring all of the exterior lighting,the horn...

Okay, in the pic schematic look at part 85014- shaft.If you look at the casing, you'll see a gear in the upper left,just under the gasket or packing.Between that gear and case there was a nut that was loose.Tried tightening toward case and gear but nothing seemed to work.Occasionally, I got the...
