    too retarded, need to advance

    Correct. Counterclockwise = advance timing. Clockwise = retard timing.

    too retarded, need to advance

    Case closed. I moved the plug wires on the distributor around in the circle one step COUNTERCLOCKWISE. Then turned the distributor around CLOCKWISE to get the timing within the zone where I want it and can get the advance I want. I include a picture of the new orientation relative to the old...

    too retarded, need to advance

    I apologize for my poor description of the problem. I have included a picture, which I should have done the first time. The dissy cannot rotate further COUNTERclockwise as you can see in the picture. It is already hitting the dipstick. I think all of the wires need to be indexed one spot...

    too retarded, need to advance

    Thanks 1911 for clarifying the CAM timing. But, I can't turn the body of my dissy counterclockwise any more, because the vacuum advance that hangs off the right side of the dissy is fully up to the dipstick that comes up out of the block on the F engine. I could leave the BODY of the dissy in...

    too retarded, need to advance

    Sorry. It's not hitting the oil filter, its the dipstick coming up out of the block. I am wondering if my timing gear and crankshaft gear were not properly mated, because I am having to twist a long way counterclockwise to get the timing where I like it. If I index the plug wires, which...

    too retarded, need to advance

    I think my distributor is set into the camshaft one tick wrong as I can ALMOST get my timing set right but not quite. When my timing gets to where I want it to be the distributor hits the oil filler and won't advance any more. So, I need to pull the dissy out of the cam hole and reinsert it...

    Please help with window seals and seat covers

    The '68 might have had grey seat covers. I think SOR makes a very good replacement set with molded foams for this year, as do others. The '68 also MIGHT have had seat covers in an more orange color, which are almost impossible to find. Shane AKA AATLAS1X made some beautiful covers in the...

    Another mystery hole question

    Never seen manual 4WD shift with 4WD indicator. The shift mechanisms are different and there is not a switch on the shifter to detect 4WD. Interesting to know that 12/71 has bench seats and floor shift. I thought that transition from column shift to floor shift happened at the same time as...

    Another mystery hole question

    The '68 was a transitional year. I need to know what "flavor" of '68 you have. Mine is one of the last to have the small-window 1 BBL carb, which was set-up to use the throttle. Most of the later carbs did not necessarily have provisions for the throttle -- and throttle actuation switched...

    Another mystery hole question

    f1aa1a: OK. I mislead you then. If 12/71 is factory three-speed floor shift and factory 4wd floor shift, you would not have the light. What type of seats do you have? Buckets? The light hole is probably for the emergency brake light switch and/or master cylinder brake light switch. Check...

    clutch starts to engage all by itself

    One week later and the problem has dissapeared (same day the MC rebuild kit arrived). I can hold the clutch pedal down for 5+ minutes with no change in position of slave cylinder. The clutch hydrauliic system self-bled a bubble I guess. Add kit to spares ....

    I assume very solid means no rust. If that's what it means, I'll take it for $75. Where are you in Alabama. I am in Georgia but have a lot of people over your way.

    Another mystery hole question

    I've posted this before but it's pretty funny: One day my brother in law called and said that there was a red flashing light on the dash of my FJ40 and wanted to know what he should do. He was pretty panicked. The answer of course, is to cancel the turn signal.

    Another mystery hole question

    On my '68 the turn signal indicators are RED but the 4wd is GREEN. Pretty sure that's stock. Randy, p.m. me and I can find a green one for you in my stash.

    clutch starts to engage all by itself

    My guess is with Pinhead right now. After bleeding through a pint of hydraulic fluid, the fluid turned dark awfully quick. I recently replaced the master, but it was an NOS part that was 40+ years old.

    clutch starts to engage all by itself

    I recently finished a clutch replacement on my '68 FJ40. I did not disconnect the hydraulics but did remove the slave as part of the process. I did bleed it a bit afterwards -- but maybe not enough. When I push the clutch in, it disengages as it should. After about 45 seconds, the clutch...
