The truck is pretty much sold. Money has exchanged hands and just waiting to see when it can be picked up.

Attention Houston area Mudders.....project for local pick up. I know......"project" opens up all sorts of possible interpretations Got a 1982 white FJ60 many years ago....bought from brother in law who got it at auction in California...was sitting in the back of an auto yard. I had it shipped...

David...Please make sure I'm on the list for full set....10/82 build date.....gray....thanks so much for doing this for everyone!

Thanks to everyone for sharing and imparting your knowledge. I have definitely learned more of what to look for when I check under the hood!

Here's the engine bay Has a/c but compressor loose and not belted so I figured there was a/c work in my future. Truck ran before I started tearing into it.

Now that I look closely it has a fab'd bracket for the power steering!

Now that I look closely itv

I'm guessing its the 77-78 distributor due to the 3 screws holding down the cap, as well as the appearance of the advance/retard ports on the "can" .very interesting to know that this may be .a 76 2f......in an 82 fj60....with a 77/distributor. Not the bone stock I thought,.....but still...

Non dented side cover. engine code "2f 098288"

There is a part# 69101-11100 for 77-78 and a part# 69101-11101 for 79-80 just not sure what I have on this 82 fj60....

Also now has me wondering if this has a transplanted engine. Honestly everything looked in place and original at first glance. Started baselining and found the distributor. Engine is not coated in years of gunk as bad as my last fj40 was....which makes me wonder. Is there a way to determine...

Just found out my recently new to me 82 does not have an 82 distributor...appears to have smaller cap. Do not see normal old points style. Any guidance appreciated

thought it was just me since I havent logged in for a while....been getting the same....either no results or just 1 or two results for what would be normally overwhelming results (tires, engine, swap, etc....)

or.......does it really matter which side of the gasket is up or down? Do I need to worry about this? I just want to make sure I get and keep a good seal.
