Thanks A Ton! :clap:

am in the last stages of rebuild on my FJ40. I am putting the windows/WS back onto the hardtop for re-assembly and ran into a wall and have a silly question The vent window weatherstripping-it has two sides- a hard bumpy side, and the smooth(er) side with the square tabs in the corners-my...

Thanks! I'll look into it this weekend and check it out. and thanks for understanding my lack of knowledge!! I am only used to working on standard mx items! and if my tank is fubared I will also look into the resources provided!!

Hi! So after 2 years off the road I have my FJ40 back on the road (well kind of). I bought this for $5K about 3/4 restored and have been finishing it up. I still have yet to paint the hardtop and doors but at this point it is about driveable. Some of the cool stuff done to it. Rear disc...

Thanks all of you for the responses. I finally got spark and cruiser_gt you just read my mind with what I needed for the correct measurement. I will check the vacuum advance as well! Whoo Hoo one step closer to getting this turd fired up!!

Thanks to those who offered suggestions to my ignition problems. I have yet another question. My new 40 is a late model 1977 with a whole different distributor/points set-up than my older 76 had. I have the Haynes manual for both 77 and prior and 77 and newer. Neither shows or talks about the...

Hi all, OKay here is my dilemna- My 1977 40 is about to be put back on the road again after a long hiatus (couple years). I am having some issues with the coil somewhere. I am not getting spark from the coil wire to the distributor. (I have not yet purchased a new wire so that is on the...

Thanks a bunch.. after you all tagged it I stuck my fat head in the fender and tada- a new one was welded onto the replacement fender..guess this on can be used to hold up some books--or all the other parts flaoting through my garage right now!!

I don't have them on mine-yet-but picked them for mine.My buddy has them on his '71 and loves them. He had Black Diamond and they were so D*#m stiff you didn't need to go to the dentist because driving the thing would rattle any loose teeth right out (very stiff and poppy) and we had done our...

Hey all....I am finishing up a resto on a '77 40. I have these three parts-all look familiar but can't figure out where the heck they go. I have scoured SOR books but I apparantley keep missing it-figured this would be easier-anyhow here they are from left to right (1) (2) (3)....thanks a bunch!

Great! Thanks so much-I'm sure I'll have tons more of these posts
