I have a 1965 FJ40 steering box that is taking up room in my shop. Unsure of the value but open to trades. Can take more pictures of the innards but spins freely.

You’re going to have to readjust your expectations…

Selling off some misc FJ80 parts that have been taking up space in my shop. I'd like to keep them together as a bundle $450 if possible. (qty 1) NOS: 83710-60171 FJ80 speedometer cable (qty 1) new: 11213-61020 (1) FJ80 valve cover gasket and (4) grommets (qty 11) 90999-92003 replacement vacuum...

Projects on a bit of a hold until I get a spare weekend or afternoon to fiddle around. I appreciate the suggestions though.

For those who are much more knowledgeable than I am, Are any of the parts off a slightly later starter swappable?

Where in SC are you? I have a couple steel supplier companies I can recommend if you're in the Upstate area. I don't think you need floor panels from those pictures. Just patch panels of 16-18 ga sheet metal.

I'm using the Walbro GCL611 external fuel pump and the EFI has a factory set fuel pressure regulator set to 58.5 psi. Is there a way to verify the fuel pressure on the sniper screen? I don't have an external gauge. I'll check vacuum this weekend and get back to you. For the O2 sensor, I...

The engine was a strong runner with the original SD40 carb. I have good spark, correct gap, fresh wires, fresh cap and rotor, and Pertronix electric ignition along with a pertronix flame thrower coil. I may be wrong but based on coolermans website and some research, I'm pretty positive the...

I'll look into the setting of the IAC a little more and check out that youtube video. Thanks. Some of my confusion with timing comes into play with my distributor. I have the original vacuum advance distributor. I set my timing with the vacuum advance line disconnected and the lines plugged but...

As the title says, I am looking for help getting my 1965 FJ40 to run nicely with the Holley Sniper EFI autolite 1100. I have the sniper installed and the engine fires up. However it is running crazy rich and I have no idea what I'm doing with getting the ol' girl to settle down. It seems like...

I’ll take 2.

I honestly thought you were joking about leaning on the distributor and bumping it… until I also read that it was the recommended way in the FSM. And sure enough it worked like a charm! The distributor is back in the correct place rotated away from the dip stick and the engine is re-timed...

Thank you! I would assume it just needs a few drops or squirts of oil?

Is there a certain maintenance/oil procedure that I need to follow for this distributor?

I was looking through some pictures of my distributor and noticed a lower knob. I wasn't sure what it was for or what it adjusts. This is not the octane selector knob.
