Thanks!

I was told its an F1.5, but not having had any other FJ40 cams in my hands I didnt know there was a difference between them other than the grind. Every day is a school day! My engine block number is F 527152 Thanks!

Hmm...I removed my old cam, sent it out and got it back, so not sure which it is...can you tell from these pics?

Have a Delta cam that isnt doing what I expect, looking for a new stock or mild cam please.

Thanks guys for the images and suggestions. I respectfully say, I am not overthinking this if the truck is undriveable, which it is.

More pics

Thanks to those of you that have helped on other threads! I thought I'd try starting another focused on today's task at hand: alignment. The truck is a 1974 FJ40 freshly reassembled. I initially had the front camber shims on backwards, that made it handle evil. It still handles terribly but...

Yes, thanks though I have made that mistake before. It didnt seem to have any play in the box. It didnt have a heat shield to protect from exhaust manifold and pipe but I made a pretty one up to try and extend its life. One clamp was loose as pb4ugo noted. I clamped the other end for the drive...

I did a frame-off restoration and upgraded a bunch of parts along the way only to end up with the truck handling very sketchily. These are all new tie rod ends, shackles, springs, bushings and the axle/birfs/bearings all new. Toe in is 1/4" on 31" wheels. 4degree caster wedge. New Bilstein 5120...

So I had to remove it from the garage, too many projects. Posting again here as well on Kijiji for someone to take it away asap.

Can do. I saw your PM, will give you my email and # for your friend to reach out. Glad it can go to a new home and not scrap!

Hi All, Spring is here and I really need this out of the garage...if anyone wants me to keep it dry a few more days OK otherwise it gets dragged outside and to the scrapyard....hopefully someone can come and make use of it.

Thanks guys. Called Scott at Beatty in Barrie, unfortunately he is shut/shutting down. Sounds like an awesome guy, tried disgnosing over the phone and super knowledgable.

I have been unable to solve a low-vacuum, ignition and carb issue and need someone in the GTA who knows FJ petrol motors specifically F155...I live in King City and saw that old reference to CrewFab, dont seem to be around. I see you there Crushers, but the truck is only driveable for a short...

Just a bit, but not where I expected it. With a high idle ~1000 the AFR's are ~13:1, timing 14 degrees and 11 inches of vacuum. When closing down the throttle plate and adjusting the mixture screw so idle is ~700n the AFRs are 13:1, timing is 14 degrees and vacuum is 9 inches. I also notice it...
