Yes, angle finder. I find using the lower trunion bearing cap is easier. Dont use the studs or nuts, they could be slightly off. You should be able to catch the edge next to the nuts so that the finder is on the plate. I think, FSM say 1*...
This is correct. Park your truck so the tires are pointed ahead. Loosen both clamps and rotate the drag link until the steering wheel is positioned as you like it. The FSM and Haynes manuals have the proper tape measure distances for all the...
Land Cruiser abyss? You must have never owned a 1970s spaghetti car (Italian). My first car was a Lancia Beta Saloon. To own it, I just had to get it working. That engine bay ate everything. Nothing dropped ever hit the ground. Nor did it...
Update #1:
Cleaned up that connection and put it back together with a waterproof connector and purrrrrrrr!!!!
My master cylinder rebuild was a success, my brakes, even without bleeding them yet, are better than they were with an aftermarket...
This might not be the best place to ask. The mini-pickups did not have the same engine as the Land Cruisers. Webers, out of the box, were never a great setup for the F series motors. But you have a different engine.
Make sure the people...
If you don't have an air rail I would strongly recommend a homebrew set up. I dont have a welder or much for fab skills but the studs down the middle of the block could have something mounted to them to give you leverage. I wouldn't waste your...
Mine smokes pulling away from a stop light, so I assume it’s the valve seals. Just don’t need a one day job turning into a two week job right now, so I might order the tool ahead of time. I don’t have an air rail, so I might need a different...
You take all of the spark plugs out first. Then feed the rope into the plug hole. The thicker the diameter rope the better. Once you feed a good amount in. Like 3 or 4 ft. You can slowly rotate the engine by hand and it will raise the piston and...
Thanks! On the rope, did you spin the motor by hand to compress the cylinder space with the rope in it? Or did you leave the engine mostly static and just fed in rope?
I need to do this soon. Thanks for the tool link. Little late, but this guy does it with zip ties. About 6 minutes into the video. Think I’ll just buy the tool…
Try here. Later year EVAP system if you cannot find yours.

Good discussion here:

A separator is just a plastic piece with some tubes to allow a small amount of fuel to settle out of the vapors. If the plastic cracks you will smell fuel in the cab.
You can make sure air passes freely thru it, but there shouldn’t be fluid...
The charcoal canister? As stated in post #5, there is no line that connects to the bottom of it. It is a vent line.
Below is a photo courtesy of CCOT. You should verify your fuel tank hoses are hooked up the same. No liquid fuel should be...
The other path is “keep it Toyota”. Yes you can make power for less with an LS, but there is a certain “art” to having a toyota drivetrain in a LandCruiser.
This is my 72. The motor is just for placement. It gets a coilpack 1fz-fe from a 100...
The purpose of the charcoal canister is to absorb and filter fumes from the fuel tank. By 9/77 or so it was also connected to the carb float bowl for the same purpose. It is not supposed to ever have liquid fuel in it. That’s why the OEM vapor...
EVAP system. Hard to tell from your description what tank is doing what. Are both pressurizing? Is it only after fueling? If so, see Romer’s recent thread...
