Good job. On all my 40's the hook goes on the other way, meaning, your hook is on upside down. The flat portion also provides a rest for the carrier arm. Hope this helps
I would probably first figure out what it is and what it was supposed to do. More and better pics of it and where the hoses attach. and just some more general pics of the engine bay.
Mechanical fuel pumps work just fine and I like them better.
I threw all the hardware in my brass tumbler with Nutshell media for a day. I like the way they came out. Now to work the media out of all the threads.
My Oct of 71(72) had a AM radio mounted under the steering wheel. My guess it was dealer installed. It had a speaker box high on the pass side toe kick. I seem to recall this type of installation on a few other early 40's back in the day. I...
Did the PO seem knowledgeable about engines? Did he know the lifters should be kept in order? If so, why would he scramble them? You might want to check the cam lobes. Do you have the old head gasket to look at? I've "resealed" many V8's...
You need 12volts and a 12 or 14ga wire going to a GM HEI dist. I've always run a mech pump snd a HEI dist. I prefer a return line too. If your going that direction you should pull the block of plate and see if the push rod is still there...
Jets are a slippery slope and availability has become an issue (unless there are some aftermarket versions out there now). If it were me, I'd make the changes suggested above, run it for a while, and then see how the spark plugs look. If it's...
Warn hubs were disassembled and cleaned up. I ordered a repair kit from warn but most of it was duplicate gaskets from the knuckle rebuild kit I ordered and it didn't include one rubber seal for under the cap. If I didn't need a couple of the...
The harness and headlightis along with a crap load if zip strips are the kit and the part # is referenced in this thread. 81110-60P70. The kit has nothing to do with the high and low beams, they are activated thru the stk wiring harness and the...
When I went from sea-level to Colorado to wheel while on vacation I would advance the timing to Idle speed on my sbc. The higher the elevation required more timing. It ran better but sluggish. It was a temporary adjustment because I was there...
Going to a cars and coffee in dtla tomorrow. Decided to get some of these parts off the work bench and on the FJ40.
I ordered this replacement dome light from Toyota, but the new version sucks. It has a dowel for the top instead of a screw...
If I lived closer I’d stop by and give you a hand….once you do some Fiberglas stuff it gets to be fun, easy and the end result is very satisfying. Good luck
This area behind the seats is almost done. Dressed the welds yesterday, and fabbed up the last patch panel, though I ran out of time to weld it in.
With a little filler to smooth the weld joints and some high-build primer and then paint, this...
