    Converta-fuse?

    Just what I've been told. Also, In my (admittedly) limited experience, I've had fewer issues with them being DOA. I was considering sealing out the box, but then saw the adapters and thought they might be a good short term solution. Are glass fuses better in your experience?

    Converta-fuse?

    Has anyone here tried a Converta-Fuse adapter? (Fuse Holder, Converta-Fuse @ OPGI.com) Curious if it would be a good/quick little upgrade to use the better blade fuses? Thanks for any insight!

    68 fj40 rearview mirror

    Hi All, I accidentally pulled out my rearview mirror while removing the hardtop. It seems like its just held in by spring clips but I can't seem to get it back in. Is there a technique to this someone could help me with? Thanks!

    Body work recommendations

    Thanks for the thoughts, guys! I took it to another shop today and it was fairly different. This guy wanted me to buy the inside/outside rocker kits that are available online (for just the driver's side) and he'd weld that in. On the passenger side and rear corner he'd just put new metal in...

    Body work recommendations

    Hi Guys, I'd like to get some rust taken off of my 40 and am in search of a decent body work shop around town that won't be a complete ripoff. I went to one shop with a good rep and got an estimate of $1400 for the welding plus $600 for the paint. I'm sure it'd look amazing after that, but...

    Do you still have these brackets and will they fit a 68? Thanks! Craig

    How many FJ40s are represented by MUD?

    455. It's a '68 my parents bought new when they got married. Passed it on to me a couple years ago. It's been a learning/project vehicle as well as a fun occasional-driver...

    40 series roof racks- want to make my own low profile platform...

    Just stumbled onto this thread and am interested in a low-profile rack, too. Did you ever find/build one?

    For Sale Garvin Wilderness Rack

    Your dimensions say it's 6" high, but how much overall height does it add to your cruiser after its mounted to the gutters? I guess what I'm asking is if it would be able to be left on the roof of your cruiser and clear a standard 7' garage door? Thanks! Craig

    What's this that's connected to my coil?

    Thanks, Guys! The radio is currently out of the FJ, but I hope to have it make an appearance soon and will leave the capacitor in there. Cheers, Craig

    What's this that's connected to my coil?

    There's something like a capacitor bolted on the head and connected to the coil. It's the little round barrel thing just to the left of the coil. I can't find it on SOR or my Haynes book. Is it a resistor or capacitor? Also, I just installed a Pertronix ignition, do I need to keep this, take it...

    Lucas coil specs and ignition problems

    Is there something I'm forgetting to check? Maybe I'm missing a "starting checklist" in the FAQ. I've done a ton of reading and tried to solve the problem on my own, first, but I'm running low on options...

    Lucas coil specs and ignition problems

    I've double/triple checked that the fuel squirts into the carb. Any more than two pumps and it floods. The choke works and is almost fully closed to get it to start. I can gradually open it as things warm up. In general, it runs fine when it's fully warmed up. The only thing I can come up...

    Lucas coil specs and ignition problems

    Hi All. I'm trying to nail down the problems I've been having with starting my 68 FJ. The problem gets worse when it gets below 50 deg. It will start, but not without a lot of work and patience...and, when it's colder, starting fluid (which I'm trying to limit as I know it's not great to...

    Pertronix vender help

    Thanks for all the info! It turns out that the 1665a is the Ignitor 1 and 91665a is the Ignitor 2, which explains my confusion with the price. I completely overlooked this. Anyway, re the coil info, what, if any, would be the advantage of getting a 3.0 Ohm coil vs 1.5? Thanks! Craig
