I received my rebuild kit from NAPA today... there is no replacement for the retainer clip which holds the check ball for the AP intake.
This is a '76 carb.
Any ideas on sourcing a replacement clip?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The attached pic is taken from the FSM with pointers to my problem area. I'm hoping to source a gasket without ordering the gasket set shown in lower right (would someone confirm this is the gasket for me?).
Can this gasket be had independent of the complete set?
Or, will RTV hold a seal...
My '78 fj40 has developed a leak resulting from years of trash collection and moisture... and worse, neglect. I don't care to attempt restoring the original, but with the price of an OEM tank, I may have to reconsider.
Anyone like to chime in with options and sources?

I'm doing maintenance on my passenger side wiper and need to remove the defrost nozzle for access. The FSM shows what appears to be an easy removal, but mine is fighting me. I'm not sure what type of fastener is used here.

Well, I'm finally getting around to fixing my ebrake. Started by turning the adjusting nut on the back of the ebrake housing. Nothing. No resistance whatsoever. Turn, turn, turn and nothing.
I also attempted to take slack out of the cable by adjusting under the dash. Still not getting any...

The AP does not appear to be working. Pump the gas and no squirt. Obviously, it hesitates on take off. Idle was fine and is now fluctuating and won't sit rock steady (it was prior to this problem cropping up).
Anyway, I have a rebuild kit but hesitate to completely...
I'm trying to find something to place between my metal parts to prevent wear and rust (specifically, the doors and door hinges... hood and hood hinges). Sources would be nice as well.
Thanks!

Anyone have an idea of what is going on?

My engine has been missing after sitting for a period. I've replaced the contacts in the distrib (stock on the 78fj 40), plugs, and wires. Re-set the timing and still the engine misses.

I'm driving along this morning and realize that when I let off the accelarator that a very loud whin of gears is going on in the back. The noise kept getting loader... I'm guessing no gear oil.
Anyway, I finally...
Okay... so how do you attach an image to your signature/profile?
Also, happy to be here and to find such a huge amount of cruiser information.
I have a '78 FJ40 that is in need of some work. Actually, it is pretty good shape relatively speaking. :) I'll post a pic when I figure out how.
