I like it so much that I think I think I'm gonna have to copy you. Thanks

Looks like I got a new anchor.

My dad and I were cleaning under his house when I came across a steering box from his old 72 55. He wanted to throw it away and I told him that would be stupid. He said the box was still good before he did a saginaw conversion in 1980. How much do you guy's think its worth? I looked at SOR and...

This site is great! I had the same problem and that solved everything. Thanks guys.

I know that the cruiser passed smog when we brought it to California, and I know the engine is good because I was the last person to drive it about 3 years ago. I think I'll tell him to get rid of the old gas in the tank and send it to a carb shop.

Thanks for the help guys, I tried to convince my uncle to get it running but he doesnt want to touch the thing. I think I'll have to get it running to help him sell it.

My uncle wants to sell his 1979 fj40 but isn't sure how much its worth. The cruiser was originally from Colorado but is now in La Quinta California. The cruiser doesnt run because something is wrong with the carb, has some rust on the driverside floorboard and quarter panels, needs new weather...

Don't forget to get some Tommys or Petes Blue Chip on the way back.:)

Flcruiser, thanks for the advice but I will have to check it out later. Tomorrow I'm leaving to Mex and I'm just happy that it works at all. I would also show some pics but its a little ugly and I can't take the embarrassment before a fifteen hour drive.

Well, today I went to an AC guy and he emptied my system of air and filled it with 134. It worked great but my AC button still doesnt engage the compressor. I have no idea of why the hot lead that went to the toy compressor has no power when I press the button. I guess I'll just have it hotwired...

I don't have a high pressure port because the can of r134 said to only fill it on the low pressure side, so when I got my hoses made I told the guy making them to only put one. That same can has a gauge on it and it said that it was charged. Do I really need the port on the high side? Today...
