    Wiring Harness Transplant

    Always retain factory wiring, do not deviate unless you understand what you're doing and know how to make quality repairs, otherwise you're chasing your tail or causing shorts. 1. Do not make a custom harness, this is by far the most irritating unless you develop a complete flow diagram for...

    Wanted Wanted 1983 FJ40 dash pad light

    If you don't find one easily, the change from bullet to two pin is super easy, even an adapter harness could be whipped up. I only have the earlier style which is bullet.

    Carb Insulator and Carb install question

    No sealant, period. Why? because carburetors use small diameter vacuum circuits and if the RTV isn't set or it becomes dislodged, the debris can land in a vac port and cause headaches later. Dry gaskets only, nothing else. Universal note: Can it be done in a pinch, temp, or if you really know...

    Rebuilt Distributors

    Buy a new points dizzy from Toyota (you won’t notice any driveability difference between an electronic 60 dizzy). I’ve used both extensively - points dizzy is great for long term parts and bolt-on ease.

    After market carb. Not my install, what's this wire for?

    Run wire in your hand (fuel cut solenoid) to switched 12v source (off keyed power). From factory there will be a single wire out of the firewall that would run alongside the coolant temp sensor wire. For temporary testing, connect direct to battery and reattempt starting. Make sure bowl fills...

    Need Help Identifying This Carburetor

    Just run with the rebuild kit for a '70. The 70-74 carbs are the same fundamentally with variations in jetting. Interestingly enough, it has '73 linkage. Open it up and see, if its a '70 it will have 112 primary, 200 secondary, 90 power valve jet, 50 for both primary and secondary slows.

    A little before and after is always nice. This came out way better than expected.

    City Racer to the rescue!

    If you drive often or the truck sits often with fuel, purchase an Aisan float to replace the float in the Fuji (City Racer is the seller here, not the mfg). They are known to absorb water over time and it will cause a no start fault due to overfilling bowl.

    Wanted Boise, ID: 1975-1976 Fj40/Fj55 Carburetor Throttle Positioner/Choke Breaker

    Thanks for checking @65swb45 seems to be the common consensus for this version….thankfully the 76-78 works just fine as a replacement. I wanted to try the 3F variant since that is more ‘common’ but in essence of time - this was easier.
