Working on replacing an EOM leaking wheel cylinder on pre-1970 FJ40. I found one for fair price at PartsGeek (made by Beck Arnley.) Problem is the banjo bolt will not go all the way in (the new aftermarket cylinder is not tapped with enough threads like the original.) How do I know for sure...

Thanks forum members for discussion on clutch adjustment here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/clutch-slave-adjustment.373398/ and here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/clutch-slave-cylinder-adjustment.108246/ among other places here on the forum. My issue was not being able to get into gear...

Hope you got to the bottom that timing. I just cleaned and re-gapped my points and it runs much better. I'm in Mt. Dora if you're in the area.

Check into Firefly batteries Firefly International Energy - https://fireflyenergy.com/ mostly for solar, RV and marine applications, but can't ignore the specs and good reviews and is worth a look just for interest. It's pricey as are the Odessy's. In the past I've ordered only Odessy or...

Hey, B. 32, here are a few link for a decent gas tank. The pick up tube draws up from top though which I wonder if my mechanical fuel pump will draw up enough to have good fuel pressure. I used a Moeller Fuel gage with the supplied float arm, but if you want the right sending unit you may want...

Just to clarify: the cold starts have been going on for years (I've just been using starting fluid spray for the occasional runs and Sunday trips.) The new gas tank is something new (in addition) so the carb issue has come up. Also, since I'm doing maintenance, I wonder if there's something...

I was perusing posts to get some insight as to my cold start issues on my Weber 38 DGES (synchronous) on my F-Motor FJ-40--1969 motor. Ventilation is good. I was looking for a basic set up for the F-Motor with that Weber. Maybe something is not set right, which may be causing the hard cold...

How do you do a double seal? I replaced that seal (which was a bit of a bitch,) and still leaks.

Hello from Florida, hope you get it rebuilt Dunham. I will double check to see exactly which one I have; I'm pretty sure it's the 38 DGES synchronous series. I've been having trouble starting at cold start...once started and warmed it does great (even after off for half a day or so.) Only at...

Hey DOM, yeah, that's the thing about rare vehicles...all spread out. Just keep looking (there may be local landcruiser association chapter nearer.) Or, you could fly down one-way then rent a vehicle and drive back up if you had to. Of course a nice trip to N.M. would be cool. My current...

Here are a few more pics :snaphappy: of the flywheel for the '67 F-motor to supplement above pics. The flywheel face will need to be milled down.

Here's the carb I have available 2BBL that has probably seen better days, but has all the relevant adapter plates and hose connections. There is a raised lettering on top surface that says: "ISO 6F 14" I'm not sure what year it is and that is not the one that came with my '67 motor (title...

Thanks for reply living I.P. You may be right...I just know the motor is not a 2F. It has the older manifold design. I wish I had a pic of the engine number. It's definitely late 60's. I will edit my post (unsure exactly on year of motor.) Another pic below shows top view.

Thanks for reply cruisermatt, I think it best to keep the original bell-house and flywheel with the motor. I do have the 3 speed, but has surface rust (as with the bell-house and flywheel, but can be sand-blasted/painted.) I forgot that I had those things you asked about too so I may...

I have a F-Motor with older style I and E manifolds (likely a '67 but unsure.) I also have the bell-housing for it as well as water pump, crank pulley and brackets (attached.) Bell H and flywheel has surface rust. $400 (can deliver within reasonable areas in Florida.) OEM 3 speed (with...
