So it’s a Hone over drive. @Living in the Past for the win! Found some good info on the Hone Overdrives in the 40 section. It’s down the list to get working. Seems like a great thing to revive if possible. Could be easier than a 4 speed swap...
Got the rims powder coated gray with RAL 7036 based on the discussion in this thread: FJ40 OEM wheel powder coating RAL codes - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj40-oem-wheel-powder-coating-ral-codes.967648/
My powder coating guy did a very...
If you use the double nut method (see video below): using a ratcheting box wrench help things move faster.
Or, if you want quick and easy you can use a stud remover (socket) and an impact wrench, zzzipp and they're out. If you don't have an...

Some of the stuff I've used recently.
I'll spray something on the rust first..
Then I'll spray a coating like POR-15 or any of the rust converting/directly on rust type coatings or a two part epoxy marine type primer with a pressure pot and an...
What am I missing?
You did a fantastic job removing and reinstalling that panel but I addressed those same areas without removing it.
You are correct there will be times that drilling is a better option than grinding but as a rule I don't remove...
The carb @charliemeyer007 identified would not be my first choice for a rig that is going to be desmogged. A 75-80 non-US Aisan carb, sometimes referred to as a 61010 or 61011 would be the best choice. Behind that would be a 75-77 stock Aisan...
Oof... back to work today... lol.
Hope that you all have had a good Monday.
So, the adapter kit that I bought for the swap will accommodate Zeke's H42. As I don't yet own an H55... and don't need it to do the swap, my budget just got cut down...
I always enjoyed seeing the exceptional shops/work spaces that others are working in. I was surprised to see that this thread has been dormant since 2016.
Regrettably, I don't have anything new to share. My shop has not changed in the last...
@SipLife took a trip up to finish up his fuel system base lining. Tank out gunk removed, took tank to the car wash, pressure washed it. Treated with 50/50 muriatic acid, neutralized with saturated baking soda solution, rinsed it out, let it dry...
@Cowboy45 was a tad wigged out with baja gearbox design for next years race car. So I distracted him with a trip to the lake to catch a sunset. Pterodactyl and Kermit stretched their legs. Calming to watch the sun set
Thank you! I am going to try a slightly smaller shim to see it if that eliminates the noise. There is no vibration, just an annoying noise at slow speeds or cornering. It sounds like a tire roar but I have ruled that out. It might be a bad...
Pretty sure only the driver's side was ever slotted and that was only for a few years for the carburetor fan. RH never slotted, LH slotted from 72 to 77. Having said that, I have an October 1976 ('77 model) which doesn't have a slotted...
