I live in a suburban neighborhood north of Austin that's become more and more diverse over the 17 years we've lived in our house. I was working on my green UZJ100 late afternoon the other day and I saw an older gentleman walking slowly around the... -
The 1974 FJ40 Amp Meter shunt would be dificult to replace as it's part of the meter itself, not external like the 1979 and up amp meters. Great read: all things gauges Here is why you can run a high amp replacement alternator and not burn up...

The rubber grommet is still there. It has just solidified into a rock after 30 years. Pull the PCV valve out using pliers while rocking it gently if you have to, then dig out that fossil grommet - being careful not to let pieces of it drop down...
