I opened the distributor last night and uninstalled then reinstalled the points and condenser. Put new spark plugs in and the truck started right up........not sure exactly what it was but something I did make it start. I noticed the idle was a bit high so I've got to tune the carb a little...

My 79 is from South America so it has all kind of weird parts, very different from the North American trucks. It definitely has points because I replaced that and the condenser. I check for voltage through the coil and everything checked out. Short of replacing the entire distributor I'm baffled...

I rebuilt the carburetor about two months ago in the truck ran fine my buddy pulled the distributor cap off to check the points and it never started again I replaced a distributor cap the rotors the condenser and checked everything on the coil it turns over but it still won't spark any ideas?

It idles at full choke........

My fj40 stalls at idle, I've been trying to clean the carb and took this video. Is this normal to have fuel flowing only on the left side of the car??

thanks for the suggestions guys, I really appreciate the insight. I'll take a look at it soon and let you know my results.

Have a fuel leak under the fj40's . what do I do to fix it?

I have all four tires at 40psi

Minimal play as I tightened it up not too long ago. I'm going to try a dual stabilizer to see if that does the trick.

I have shims. Tonight I jacked the truck up and checked the front steering for slack and couldn't find anything. No slip in wheels. I also checked the u-joints and they were fine. I don't have power steering, I'm starting to wonder if I need a dual stabilizer. Here are pics of my setup, ignore...

Wow that's a lot of great info. I just had it in the shop and they didn't say anything was wrong with the steering components. The tires and wheels are brand new. I already have the skyjacker steering stabilizer so I'm wondering if I need a more heavy duty shock absorber. I have a bilstein trd...

I'm getting a wobble in my FJ40 around 50mph. I just had an alignment and it's still there. Would an upgraded steering stablizer help with the wobble? I'm running 35's with 5 inches of lift

Added 35's to my '79 FJ40

These don't work.....

Is there a wheel adapter that goes from the FJ40 6 lug pattern to the new toyota 5 lug pattern with a center bore hole that's 5.5 inches in width? I found an adapter but the hub side has a 4 inch chevy center bore.

Thanks for the info I'll definitely the trunion bearing route. The vibration isn't a huge deal just noticeable to me. I'm actually more worried about the lug studs not being long enough when I mounted the spacers. They are probably seated half way through the lug nut. I may need to get longer...

brtn540: -were you running the same wheels/tires before the spacers with no vibrations? Yes, same tires and wheels with no noticeable vibration at high speed prior. -Are the tires balanced, round, etc? Yes, the tires are balanced -Are the wheels true? Yes the wheels are brand new -Tried...

They are aftermarket wheels.

By hub centric I mean that the center of spacers are cut to the exact diameter of the hub.

I retorqued the spacers and they were still at specs so they didn't loosen at all after about a 20 mile round trip. Must be the trunnion bearing or a maybe a four wheel alignment is in order.
