Great stuff guys, thanks for taking the time to respond. Don't know if there is a spacer (I know the part you're referring to), I'll pull the pump off and see. Even with a build date of 12/78 the gas tank is the larger one located under the body, it's one of the reasons I wanted a '79 this time...
Working on the Enigma Cruiser, trying to get it running. 1979 model, build date 12/78. PO installed an electric fuel pump with poor wiring, I'm removing it to simplify the wiring while I figure it out and because I had no issues with the stock mechanical pump on my other 40. There are 2 steel...
Shipping is not something I really wanted to do, I would have to build a crate which would make it more expensive for you. Having said that, it looks like you're in Idaho. We make our way there from time to time, we have friends just north of Boise. Where are you located and how soon do you...
Yes, you're right about the hinges. My wife thinks I should withdraw the ad and hang the frame in our barn for the time being. That's sounding like a good idea.
Thanks for the supportive input.
Wow, that is one clean looking 2F! Clearly there are more options for doing this with the Saginaw pump than with the Toyota pump. Maybe I need to be more open minded about not keeping the factory pump. The Sag installation does look nice and compact in the photos. Looks like you've done a...
Thanks for the great suggestion, I'll drop by the local wrecking yard and see if they have this. I did have it in mind to keep the stock pump but if it proves to be more trouble than its worth I need to entertain alternatives. Or live with it as is, its a battle to keep the belt quiet.
Yes, I'm aware of that. My '79 FJ40 is equipped with factory power steering and factory air, I'm not adding it. Meaning the power steering pump is in the upper driver side location. Also means there are 3 V-belts. I particularly don't like the long one linking the alternator and power...
Greetings, I would like to move my Toyota factory power steering pump to the smog pump location on my '79 FJ40. And retain the ability of the smog pump mount to tension the belt. I've scoured MUD for information on how to do this, whether its been done. Including the advance search function...
As stated in the ad those are aftermarket wiper motors like the type you buy from Summit Racing for hot rods. They are not Toyota, you should not assume that because there are 2 motors it mimics the missing factory setup in any way. There is nothing from the original factory wiper system...
Taken from a rolled '79, this is an earlier model junkyard unit the PO used to replace the damaged original. The factory wiper assembly is gone, replaced with individual aftermarket electric motors. I don't know how they timed them or if they ever worked. Glass is cracked and I doubt the seal...
Don't know what the backspacing is offhand but they were used without a spacer. You are next in line so if you want them I'll measure it. Let me know please, I would like to be rid of them no later than this weekend.
