Will join as well if I can make it ‘up the hill’

Thanks @OSS Just stumbled across a thread from 2020 called Not Needed (hopefully): Over priced machine shop.... that was initiated by @Rusto Has a ton of information on the topic and some other good information as well. There is a probably a way to link to that thread, but will have to...

Currently have my intake and exhaust manifolds out to replace gaskets and hopefully improve a low vacuum condition on my 86 FJ60. Having trouble to find a machining shop that knows how to handle the assembly to clean it up and get the full surface flat. Mixed material between the exhaust and...

Thanks for the feedback. Valve adjustment has been done a few thousand miles ago - haven't rechecked, thinking it should still be good...

@CruiserTrash, @Seth S - bit of an update and looking for some experience on the machining of the intake. Worked my way through most of the emissions manual without finding too much new trouble. Went back to vacuum 101 and decided to pull the intake and install a new gasket. Based on how it...

Thanks - I did find this as well in the Reference area, it has been helpful. On a different note, I have seen your fusible link replacement kit - looks solid!

Meant to attach this image....

With Brake booster disconnected at the engine and plugged, EGR valve disconnected (lines Q and darker line from the diagram out of the bottom of the EGR-VM) and plugged, no noticeable difference. Full choke, runs about 9 in, after a few minutes of warm up, choke in it drops to about 8 in. Will...

So, new PVC valve (and grommet - old one was petrified)... and no change to vacuum levels. Any thoughts on where to go next??

1. I am running the original carb with the DUI. I was initially looking to understand what the original poster had done and that has caused some confusion on my setup. I basically have an original California emission setup with the addition of the DUI unit as a potential means to improve the...

That's much easier to read - thanks!

Alright, back at it after getting the Innova light delivered and returned from an event with another car. Trying to answer the question from @mattressking earlier.... not sure if I am getting this right, but with the new light with the advance figure and the lines marked on the flywheel, I am...

Thanks for the support so far... much appreciated! I am working between a few different projects at the moment, and whenever you ask something, I either have to go into town to buy another tool or learn how to do something! Have been trying to get a base timing reading with my old school...

1. Vacuum is steady but low at 11.5 when cold - only slight movement up to 12.5 when warmed up. Measuring off the intake with a tee off of one of the multiple lines due to Cal emissions, with an external gage. Looking to fit an internal one as well. 2. Fuel level is always good in the sight...

Looking to see how you made out and if any updates. Been battling similar issues with my 86 fj60 for quite awhile. Thought that electronic ignition was going to be the solution but ran into problems again after the install. Runs well for the first hour or so, then stalls out horrendously...
