Update: it was the fuel pump. After taking the FJ for an ice cream run, I noticed a heavy fuel smell. I had been riding around for a couple months thinking man it smells gassy, but the body is swiss cheese so I chalked it up to exhaust blowing back in. Then I noticed fuel under the truck...

Currently running a Weber 38 and HEI mechanical distributor with no vacuum advance. They have been on the motor for 9 years no issues. I'd like to go back to the factory equipment as time goes on. I've got an 84 carburetor and the 76 ignition system, but from reading it sounds like the later...

Does a lot to educate what is going on in the Weber, or any carburetor.

I am interested. Can you shoot me a PM. Located in Charleston.

Can’t remember what cylinder but I did crack a push rod a year ago.

I collected a bunch of sea foam to put in the crankcase but it turned back into water by the time I got home.

After redoing some of the grounds ( there were none) the ticking noise has subsided a bit. Still goes away when I pull the #6 spark plug wire. Now mostly hear the ticking on startup idle, but quieter on warm up. Also purchased a stethoscope. Was able to hear the ticking noise the further back I...

Just got the FJ back from the shop. It’s just going to have a little tick. Maybe it’s the fuel pump, maybe it’s the Man a fre distributor. Who knows, she runs great.

What hose sizes would you pick up for spares under the hood for the heater core lines?

Go up to Bonham and look up Pete Phillips with United Motors. I posted his info in the FJ Shops list. My dad and I have used his shop for other cars and he’s been honest to work with. https://m.facebook.com/100057382812898/ finding shops is hard, you have to find a dozen shops by googling...
