    Need information / picture of intake horn mounting bracket.

    I'm trying to figure out how to mount the intake horn from a '76 on the 2F I have in my '71.....can anyone post a picture of the bracket and how it mounts to the front bib (see picture below for reference)? I can't find any pictures looking at that area from behind. I just need to know what...

    H42 notchy shifting question

    Freshly rebuilt H42 in my '71 resto-mod.....since this is my first experience with a 40, I'm curious about the shifting. When upshifting, there are 2 distinct clicks to get it into gear, and with the second click, it feels like a couple of gear teeth rubbing against each other. Not really a...

    SOLD  2F camshaft

    I’m in need of a useable 2F camshaft. I had mine reground by Delta Cams, and we’ve been having an issue with one of the lobes having a considerably smaller base circle than the rest. It’s causing major difficulties with valve lash and noise. Welding the entire lobe isn’t really an option due...

    Looking for a horn and bracket for my resto-mod. Need the horn definitely….i can make a bracket if I need to. Please message me if you have one available. I plan to sandblast and powder coat, so I don’t need a unicorn part….just no structural rust, please.

    78 Aisin carb jetting question

    I’m using an A/F ratio gauge to help me get my carb jetting dialed in. I’m lean at both idle and cruising, which I expected, since I have a hotter than stock cam, and more free flowing exhaust. Quick question on idle circuit and main jets. Does the main jet affect the amount of fuel going to...

    Redline Landcruisers 2.5" lift kit

    Searched through the 40-Series FAQ and searhed threads but didn't find much..... I'm looking into suspension for the 40 I'm putting back on the road. The springs that are on it aren't stock but are so rusted that there are no longer markings on them, so I don't know what brand / model they...

    Steel wheel modification shops?

    I've got a set of steelies that I'd like to run on my 40, but the backspacing it too deep (4.5"). I can go the spacer route as a last resort, but I'd really like to have the centers cut and re-welded at the proper backspacing. I know there are several shops in California that do this, but I'm...

    What’s this gauge cluster wire?

    Doing some resto work on my cluster, and I can’t figure out what this white wire is for. I can’t find it in any of my wiring diagrams, and my rig came with the harness already removed and gone, so I can’t trace it. It’s in the 4 terminal connector with the turn signals and the black ground wire.

    Wiring assistance needed - identifying terminals on turn & hazard switches

    Working on getting my '73 resto-mod wired up. I've got a good handle on everything except the dreaded turn / hazard circuit. My rig came to me with the wiring harness already removed and was not available. I'm using a Kwik-Wire 22 circuit universal kit (yes, I got more circuits that I need now...

    Stockton Wheel out of business.....

    Well, I was trying to get in touch with Stockton Wheel about making a set of steelies for my 40 project, but it looks like they're no longer in business. Damn.... I spoke to a couple of other wheel companies near them, and they confirmed that Stockton closed. Any other suggestions on where I...

    I'm in the process of getting my wipers working (thank you Coolerman for your website.....I used it quite a lot to get the electricals figured out).......but I've run into a mechanical issue. I've got both sides turning freely, but the cable / link between the two sides is jammed up. I'm sure...

    FJ40 P/S conversion with FJ80 box - pitman arm question.

    I put the finishing touches on my P/S conversion today and have a question. I'm using an FJ80 steering box and pitman arm (4.25 turns lock to lock). When I have the drag link connected, I'm getting a little under 3 turns lock to lock before hitting the steering stops on the knuckles. Obviously...

    Need some ignition & carb tuning advice / assistance - RDU (Fuquay-Varina)

    Advice needed on Delta Cam regrind issue.

    Got the cam for my 2F back from Delta Cams, and measured the cam rise for each lobe (total height at top of lobe minus base circle). I measured all of them multiple times because I was getting some odd numbers. This is my first experience with a regrind, so I'm not exactly sure of what the...

    Steering stop adjustment question

    I've searched on here, but didn't find an answer to my question. I've also looked through the FSM, but I don't see it there either......What is the process for setting the steering stops on the knuckle? I tried jacking the front wheels off the ground (full suspension droop), running the...

    Need a couple of 2F parts (Raleigh / Durham area)....

    I found a lady on Instagram that makes cool artwork from old engine parts. Her user name is Morgan's Metals (@morgansmetals). I'd like to get one of these dudes made for my shop using an old piston from my 40, but I need a few scrap parts. Does anyone have a junk 2F rod, wrist pin, and cam...

    A different 2F Oil pan baffle question.

    I searched for other threads, but didn't find what I was looking for. I know that the newer oil pump with the pick up in the casting interferes with the early 2F pan baffles. My question isn't about modification of that baffle, it's about removal... The pan that is on my 2F doesn't have that...

    Engine overhaul parts source

    Want to share a good experience with a vendor, and pass along some money saving opportunities to those who might be interested. I needed a set of rod & main bearings, along with a gasket kit for the 2F in my 40. As you know, domestic sources for those can sometimes be difficult to find and...
