Here is what I posted on Jun 10, 2023: I received the 33403-69135 gear. It is identical to the original 17 tooth gear, except the gear OD and tooth root is 0.090 inch larger in diameter. I reduced the OD and cut the tooth root deeper. I reshaped the tooth profile to match the original gear. So...

Thanks, Had not seen that in a fuel sender before this one.

Engineer8000, I figured it wasn't a variable resistor as it looks different than another sender I have seen, and couldn't measure resistance. Exactly what is the mechanism? Don't believe it is variable capacitance as the supply is DC, not AC.

45Dougal, good catch. When you stated bending the arm, I thought that could be why the resistance went open circuit with the arm full down, and gauge dropped below E, overtraveling the sensor. It was tricky to bend the arm close to the pivot so I did not need to modify the limit travel...

With a new fuel sender, the fuel gauge only goes to about 3/4 to 7/8 full when I articulate the float full up. The gauge follows properly when moving the float arm part way. When I set it at full down, the gauge indicates past empty. I measured the unit resistance with two DMM's, and the...

Yes, how much, I will relay to my friend

A friend needs the push button release latch for the rear lift glass. Says he cannot locate any from LC part suppliers. Anyone know where to source one? Thanks

I do not know what the previous owner did regarding tires or diff. ratios. When I sourced tires, I went with the same revs./mile as original, at least I thought so. I know with GM vehicles, there are numerous driven gears for a given drive gear, not familiar with Toyota. The current gear is...

Thanks JVZii, snow gone and removed from storage and odo works with the gear he supplied, 1968 FJ40, three speed manual. But, speedo and odo indications are 10% high. I would like to change to a 19 tooth driven gear. Searching this forum, I believe the P/N is 33403-69135. Can anyone verify if...

Thanks for the advise. I did put antisieze on the petcock, hopefully to prevent freeze up. This extension is shorter and lighter than the one on the original radiator. I guess we'll see how it goes, can always remove the lower hose.

I was able to make an extension using 1/8 NPT bits. I tapped one nipple with a 10 x 1.5 mm die, which is slightly smaller diameter than the 1/8 NPT nipple. Then added a rubber coated fiber washer, drain petcock on the other end. The plastic plug that came with the CSF radiator is quite buried...

That looks like it, and yes I disassembled the entire cluster to clean and lube all the moving odo parts. So do you have one to sell? Ron

Well, Received the gears, and my bad luck, they are too large. Mine is 1.75 in. overall length and 0.25 in diameter. Would you or anyone happen to have the smaller gear? Anyone interested in the larger gears?
