Like the title says- 1985 FJ60. 2f with a weber and header, de-smogged, otherwise stock motor. Fairey overdrive tranfercase- works great. If you aren't familiar it's a 27% overdrive that is integral to the Toyota t-case.
New within the last year:
Entire exhaust system
All hoses and belts...
Without the high idle the A/C clutch won't engage no matter what. There's a module on the face of the condenser box ( right under your glove box) that has a knob to adjust at what RPM the clutch engages.
As far as the warming up- yeah- frozen solid or leaking.
Thank you sir!
Got me thinking about my fan clutch- also aftermarket- and checking the fan rotation when it got hot. Turns out the clutch was intermittently engaging! I didn't know they would do that. Most of the time it would be stiff to turn by hand, but a time or two it wasn't.
Just put on a...
Well, I guess I'll keep an eye on your progress and see if anything comes up. My radiator went to the radiator shop when I had the head off and got a clean bill of health. The gurgling isn't boil over, but it does sound like air in the system. Not every time though......
Good luck.
Any developments?
I'm having VERY similar issues, and have done all of the things you describe. I've also had the head off, machined, pressure and vacuum tested all to no avail.
My problem doesn't occur all the time, like yours, but somewhat randomly. It will overheat reliably at low speeds...
pin head-
Because it actually ran better with the old dizzy- despite the wobbly shaft- and that is the only thing that has changed. The carb was totally redone about six months ago and has worked great since, I have no apparent vacuum leaks anywhere (i've been checking), so I've got to assume...
Brian- yes, I've seen the back and forth on stock vs. HEI. Seems to be quite a difference in opinion. Had I read all of the arguments, I might have just put in a stock replacement, but I have the HEI now- and the original is a mess.
Grant- I started from 7 and worked back in 2* increments. I'm...
Hi all-
So I installed an HEI dizzy in the 60 and have been having some tuning issues. (the stock dizzy was shot) I'm hoping someone can shed some light, as the HEI thing is new to me.
At idle and above about 1900 rpm the thing runs great, but in between it runs badly. Very hesitant, especially...
Hi-

I'm Jeremy
130k-ish on the odo (not accurate at all)
Mods-MAF header, 34/34 weber, HEI, winch, Fairey OD, not much else (yet).
Used for back woods exploring, camping, and a fair amount of daily driving.
Pic to come.
