    Brake Help

    I have been having a tough time with my brakes for the last 4 months and cannot figure it out. I have a brand new master cylinder from orielly but thought it was that and exchanged it for another one. But the problem still persists. The problem is that the brakes no matter what always have air...

    Stall and bogging= total shutoff?

    Driving on the freeway for the first time in my recently rebuilt motor. Going to college at Sacramento State and took a 4 hour drive to get here. While at a rest stop I noticed the bogging. The car bogs on acceleration but is fine at high rpm that is why I didn't notice it for so long until I...

    Alternator conversion options for 78 FJ40

    Haven't been able to get my hands on any alternators for a 78 and have decided my only option for higher amperage is to convert to gm. Is there an alternator that fits that bracket nicely and lines up with the belt? I know i may have to shim a little but any options and help is greatly...

    4wd problem

    Over the year I've been noticing my 4wd won't always lock in and it usually takes a few tries to finally get it locked after banging the shifter as far right as possibly. Today I had the unfortunate task of pulling 2 chevy trucks out of some nasty clay. Once I finally did get it in 4wd I noticed...

    Crankshaft pulley wobble - anything to worry about?

    Put in my motor a few weeks back and when I first started it up I noticed the crank pulley has wobble in it and more than it used to before the rebuild. I looked up the prices and they are pretty ridiculous in my opinion and I frankly don't any money right now. Just wondering if this is anything...

    Thermostat problem

    Another question from my previous thread "New Mud Member 1978 FJ40." When first attempting to run my new motor I realized within the first 10min of running the water housing would start to steam and shoot antifreeze out of the neck (not the gasket I checked) and I could watch as the heat gauge...

    Tranny lean

    If anyone has been following my thread "New Mud Member 1978 FJ40" last week I had a question about my tranny. I just got my new rebuilt motor in but the other week I went for a test drive and noticed my shifters were leaning to the passanger side of the cruiser thus not allowing me to get to 4...

    Rebuilt 2f starting problems

    Hooked everything up today and I'm attempting to start it. Newly rebuilt 2f in a 78' FJ40. Tried pouring a little bit of fuel in the carb (weber 32/36) but it backfired because my distributor was on the exhaust stroke. So put it on compression stroke did the same with the gas. The cruiser...

    Motor mounts

    What torque should my new motor mounts and bellhousing mounts be torqued to. Couldn't find anything in my book. Intalling the original 2f in a 78. Ordered them for a good price from SOR way cheaper than autozone. Also is thread locker recommended?

    Oil for a newly built 2f

    Well I should be getting my motor put back together by Monday. For oil a machinist for Man a fre told me to put VR1 valvoline which is high in zinc for break in. But it turns out they do not make a 5w-20 oil. Are there any other oils that have zinc additives in them or should I just get an...

    2f head bolts

    I can't manage to find head bolts for my 2f. My motors off for rebuild and my machinist and I checked the threading on my old ones and they are bad. Anyone know where I can buy a set of bolts. I tried local stores and main chains like autozone and orielly but they can't manage to find anything.

    Charcoal canister

    Finished painting my compartment today so while I was putting everything back I realized that my charcoal canister isn't hooked up to any carb or vacumn as I have a weber and a desmogged 78' FJ40. The only thing hooked up are the two lines that lead downwards to the gas tank. Can I remove the...
