There are two types of alternator plugs. From '77 onwards, it has the "green plug", with F-E-N, where F is at the top. Prior to '77, the configuration was E-F-N, with E at the top. The diagram in the factory manual only shows the earlier configuration, because it was published prior to '77. The...

EGR pipe. Worth something in California. I once paid for one to sort out my EGR.

If I read this correctly; that means even if a drain cock can be made to fit the radiator, it wouldn't make it through the hole, right? Maybe that's why CSF uses that stupid plug? Seems like it's designed to splash all over the place!

Can someone with a CSF radiator check if the drain hole is aligned with the hole in the radiator support underneath? If not, how much clearance is there?

If you have an OEM radiator, you can get a direct replacement from City Racer: https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/2f-radiator-drain-cock-for-land-cruiser-fj40-fj45

@GA Architect Question about this solution. On the OEM radiator, the drain cock is offset relative to the lower tube of the radiator, while on the CSF it's nearly directly under. If one were to install a solid drain cock on the CSF radiator, does it clear the hole in the radiator frame? OEM...

Are your vacuum hoses OEM or silicone?

Huge accomplishment. Nearly mission impossible.

Yes, Aisin and OEM are both discontinued.

You can replace just the fuel gauge: https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/oem-fuel-gauge-for-79-to-84-land-cruiser-40-series-fj40

I wouldn't trust any of these online places to deliver a radiator safely. Many are already damaged by the time they receive stock, because Toyota's packing box is so crappy. Go to a dealer and open the box in person before you accept it. Still a good chance you'll be doing a return on the spot...

Great advice. One of the challenges of selling carburetors is that some buyers don't see it as part of a system. They just drop it in; if the car doesn't run right, they point to the carb as defective. The root cause can in fact be any number of things, such as a dirty tank, vacuum leaks or even...

I'm still alive and well! As I look back to post #1, it's hard to believe this thread is nearly 10 years in the making. I'm still doing various projects, and the easiest way to follow is by going to the "Latest" section of the City Racer website. As I get more and more stuff into the store, I'm...

Learning something new everyday! I always thought that all 2Fs used the same alternators except for the plug change starting in '78. Didn't know that non-US markets used F alternators. That's great information.
