    AFI Intake Manifold Adapter plate missalignment

    I ended up using the adapter, but had to do some modification to it. I opened up the adapter whole to minimize restriction due to whole misalignment. I also had to take off quite a bit of metal to make it sit flush on the intake. I did talk to AFI and was not impressed with the way they...

    Engine Compartment pained and EFI Installed

    I don't have numbers yet. Just got it finished yesterday. Hopefully I'll have some soon, that is if something else doesn't catch my eye, like a leaky exhaust.

    Engine Compartment pained and EFI Installed

    I did not touch original wiring harness - did only a single splice. Power wire for the computer and fuel pump goes directly to battery, Ignition ON goes to coil as does the DUI power, and cranking wire goes to the starter - this is the only wire I spliced in.

    Engine Compartment pained and EFI Installed

    Runs great! No mode fiddling with a carb. However, when it first started it had a misfire, that it had with carb as well. Turned out two new spark plugs were bad. Replaced them and it runs great. First run around the block it had a bit of a bog under load, but you can feel the computer...

    Engine Compartment pained and EFI Installed

    After the truck arrived from AUS I had issues with the way it ran and the general condition of the car, so the decision was to fix the engine compartment - get rid of the rust and install EFI. EFI install was pretty straight forward. There were a few issues I ran into, like the adapter plate...

    AFI Intake Manifold Adapter plate missalignment

    Tried that, but that won't work as there is a relieve machined in the plate in order to clear the extrusion on the manifold - not sure what it is called.

    AFI Intake Manifold Adapter plate missalignment

    If you take a look at the bolt whole (not the threaded on) in the top right you will see that it does not align with the threaded whole in the intake manifold. The plate loos well done, but the pattern is off. Here is another picture of the misalignment.

    AFI Intake Manifold Adapter plate missalignment

    Just got AFI's fuel injection kit and was checking for fitment and the first thing I checked (throttle body fitment) I ran into an issue. Bolt pattern is correct, but when the adapter is aligned to the intake manifold the bolt wholes are off by a bit. When the bolt wholes are aligned the...

    Hello for the first time

    I have not tested the compression yet, but the head and valve cover are definitely leaking a bit of oil. I did get an overhaul kit, so that may be a winter project - yank the engine and trans out and go through it. Now I just need to get it on the road and enjoy it a bit. :)

    Hello for the first time

    It's just disappointing that she has as many issues based on the seller description as none of the items were mentioned. She was suppose to be a driver. I'll deal with it. First order of business is getting her road worthy and ready for Chicago winter. It will be driven! Frame got cleaned...

    Hello for the first time

    First I have to say what a great forum and wealth of information! Just received my 82 FJ45 Trooper for Australia. You can say it was somewhat of an impulse/emotional buy from an infamous e*** site. The car looked great and the description said it was in good original shape, so I got it...
