Hi all, Just as the title says, I had bought a beautiful SD-40 carb a while back and am finally installing it; or was. I put a link to the 25 section where I had posted actual photos (below). There is what appears to be an adapter fitting, of which a course thread vacuum fitting screws into...

Hello all! I apologize for adding more threads but despite a lot of searching I can’t seem to find a part number or specifications on a fitting. My SD carb has the fine thread vacuum advance port; I’m looking for the piece that goes between here and the course thread vacuum hard line. Thank you...

The only thing missing on this '64 is the engine and back jump seats. A local Land Cruiser guy has this; it's for sale. He may still have it-it's been about six months since I've last visited for some parts. Two tone I assume is not original.

Didn't really do anything to my 40, nor do I know where I should post this, but I had my brother fix some photos I shot with my good camera last fall near Mt. Rainer. Feel free to snag them if anyone needs a cool wallpaper for your computer screen!

Hello! Yes I thought at some point I'd PM you because you're close by and you have a pretty much all-original 1967. I'm sorry to hear about how your acquired it, but it's fantastic that you're restoring it to be enjoyed! Equally as crazy is how close the frame numbers are, and the colors are the...

I think if you go the PowerKing route, with black stock wheels and correct caps, you'll have a truly 'authentic' look and you won't stop looking at your 40 after you do it. I ordered all 5 of mine from SimpleTire.com and they were around 80 dollars/ea. This was about 6 months ago. The pictures...

Caught the sunrise over Mt. Rainer this Sunday

Hello Fellow Mudders; I'm looking for 2 OEM acorn hubcaps, I have three closed centered ones and could buy the repro's, but thought I'd check here first. I'm not afraid of rust and dents for they would go well with the rust and dents on my rig. I can paypal payment. Thanks! James

I see, thank you for the follow up and information

I believe I read a post about Classic Tube offering a complete line kit for the early 40's. I would have to go through the same thing someday on my 67 but for now everything seems fine. I DID however, have to replace my line from the master cylinder to the first tee junction below the...

At a high level, what can you tell me about my carb? I've read the forum on stamp date decoding, so do I have an eariler air horn on a later body? Or does this carb look correct for my 40? The frame number is 50332; July '67 build? Thank you!

Okay, update: I'm not afraid to state this publicly, I did not check that the fuel tank had run dry! Unbelievable.... Fired right up just fine. After warm up, I adjusted the timing so that the ball meets the needle at nearly 500 r.p.m. What a relief!! Now, I will play with carb; I'll try the...

For reference, this vehicle was purchased from a fellow MUDDER, you can find the original listing last year from Ben Edwards. I bought this almost one year ago today.

Excellent Mark you're the person I was hoping would chime in at some point. Regarding ignition and valve adjustments; while it's true I do not know the history of the drivability of this vehicle prior to now, with the flick of the ignition switch and no foot pumping, the engine would fire right...
