Thank you.

Basically where can I get the female part for that threaded tube that I would put my fuel line on. And do you guys put any kind of tape on the threading thanks.

I’m just gonna go ahead and replace my electric fuel pump. The previous owner put on and go back to the mechanical pump. You can see my original mechanical pump right there in the picture. You can see the threaded pipe coming up to go back up to the carb. Can anyone help me by telling me what...

I think I’ll investigate just revert back to mechanical. Less to go wrong. Fuel Pump - FJ40 - FJ45 - FJ55 - 1958-1978 - https://cruisercorps.com/products/fuel-pump-fj40-fj45-fj55-1958-1978?_pos=3&_sid=ad1fee588&_ss=r

So I’ve replaced mechanical fuel pumps on other vehicles I’ve owned. I’d rather use a mechanical one. Normally, they bolt onto the engine and have a little arm on them so when the engine cranks, it moves the arm and pumps the fuel. So you’re telling me there is a to put a mechanical fuel pump on...

Good point

So, when I have my wire crank the vehicle, there is a very small clear tube that starts filling up with oil and it looks like someone sucking up liquid in a straw. At first I thought I was seeing things I’ll have to investigate what that tube is and where it goes but that’s not what you are...

Thanks so much.

the previous owner had the hot wire from the fuel pump going up the firewall and in the hole for the steering column and then it just hangs there most likely due to me hitting it with my foot? Where does this wire (#1) connect please? Also there is another wire (#2) hanging loose but it appears...

Awesome! I thought it was some kind of sensor. I’ll let it hang then because I remove the AHC about eight years ago. Thank you so much just didn’t want it to be anything that would be dangerous not to address.

This is the Driver’s side front wheel. Yeah, I know the rust looks horrible. I’m gonna have to replace the upper and lower control arm on both sides. Not so much that they’re rusted through although the surface rust is pretty rough. I plan on using wire brush which I’ve already started getting...

Thanks everyone!

Pre-filter is a great idea I’ll check the current filter if I hear the fuel pump running maybe that’s just the answer there and then I’ll put a pre-filter on. Thanks so much guys. So this would’ve originally been a mechanical fuel pump? So what would wanna do there’s some kind of Peace that...

I hope this question doesn’t seem too stupid but I’m assuming this is an electronic fuel pump in front of my fuel filter? I installed a new carburetor and it ran like a top and all the sudden it won’t start. It doesn’t appear to get any gas to the carburetor. I’m gonna change the fuel filter...

Ok. I’ll wait for pix
