It’s Toyota Capri Blue. George did the rebuild about four years ago. Hasn’t been driven much, so still very much brand new. Yes, rear main seal and parking brake all brand new also.

I’m reluctantly selling my 1973 FJ40. I originally built this for my daughter. It has a rebuilt four speed transmission, and transfer case. Transmission and transfer case rebuild was done by Georg at Valley Hybrids. Four-wheel disc brake. Original F engine. I do not have the hardtop for it, but...

Hey Matt, sorry for the reply to an old thread, but I was wondering what a broken pull stock is and what it causes. My hazard switch on my 1973 FJ40 was working for hazards but my blinkers were not working. I took my switch apart and everything looks good but a tiny piece of broken plastic fell...

Yes they are. What’s your address? 😉

That’s not bad. Where did you find the OEM lens? And what did you pay for it if you don’t mind me asking.

That’s what I was thinking of doing. I’m just trying to find a lens that’s close to the right dimensions to start with. Thanks for the reply!

Has anyone ever made a reverse light lens for a 73? There are some very similar lenses I’ve seen online that might be usable with a little tweaking. I know I saw a thread on here at one point that discussed this but I can’t seem to find it.

Thanks for the tip. I will check that out also.

Good information. Thank you !

I need to get a better gun that will give me that number. I just know I’m another 1 maybe 1.5 times the distance between TDC and the bb.

Good idea. I’m not home this weekend but I’ll try that when I get home. Thanks.

No worries. Sounds like we have a similar issue. Although even when I advance mine it’s not what I would call smooth. I’ve been playing with the distributor and carb adjustments all day trying to figure it out.

I've taken pressure at the brake booster, but not directly from the manifold I guess.

No I take that line off and plug it. It’s running to my emission control box per a thread I found which showed where to connect the ports from the box.

That's the weird thing, I have to advance it way past the 7 degree bb in order to smooth it out at all. Anywhere near TDC or 7deg and it runs horribly. Would this be a coil/resistor thing? Distributor? I figure it's got to be a sign of something.
