Just had my manifolds back from the machine shop. The intake and exhaust were loosely bolted together while I re-attached them to the 2F with a nice new gasket. The last bolts to tighten were the 5 connector bolts (3 upper and 2 lower) that hold the intake and exhaust together. 3 uppers were...
I recently replaced my fuel tank and fuel filler tube, and while in there replaced all of the fuel hoses and decided to take a shot at restoring the EVAP system, including:
- new check valve (mine was missing, just had a line from the fuel vapor container to an open-ended hard line that led to...
OEM Part# 83310-60014 New Condition, still in box $50.00 plus shipping
I have two for sale. eBay has the same model listed for $90, so this is a good deal.
This tank was boiled and sealed less than a year ago, and is in excellent condition and ready for more decades of use. I don't want this to sit in the garage unused. Make an offer and we can work out details about shipping, picking it up or meeting somewhere.
For years I've battled the carburetor idle circuit blockage, I'd say once or twice a year. If the carb was noticeably staring to misbehave, I'd run a bottle of fuel system cleaner and lo and behold, made the situation worse. Had the tank boiled and sealed, fuel lines replaced, but the problem...
Hi-density seat foams purchased from Specter 2 years ago. These were in use for one year on my FJ. Seat upholsterer used adhesive, hence a few spots you can see on the photo. Make an offer!
I recently installed a mini-truck power steering box with with OEM style pump from City Racer on my 1983 2F. I also purchased a reproduction oil cooler from Classic Tube. During the install, my shop advised that because the low-pressure hose size is 3/8, and the cooler diameter is 5/16, it...
This squeal occurs at startup when cold. This is a 1983 2F block with a Toyota dizzy from City Racer equipped with pertronix lobe sensor ignition. The noise seems to be coming from the distributor area, so it has me thinking a bearing in the distributor is shot. Have any of you heard this...
I have a City Racer distributor (19100-61180) and just switched my old Pertronix ignition out to the 1662LS. After reinstalling, I thought it would only need a minor adjustment on timing, but I can't turn the distributor enough to even see the BB. When I turn the dizzy, it has a short range...
I've been having some serious issues with idle, and was in the process of installing a carb from my friend GA Architect. Noticed that the bottom of the carb, the gasket, and the spacer don't seem to add up.
My carb (and Rick's) have the third smaller hole on the bottom. The spacer only has...
I'm looking to install PS on my 77. Have reviewed several options, but leaning towards an OEM 79-pump and a minitruck box. I have no AC or air pump. Just the alternator on passenger side. The 2F engine block number (2F 789281) I believe to to be from 1983, and I don't know what year head is...
My fuel gauge suddenly stopped working yesterday on my 1977. All of the other gauges work fine. A few months ago I adjusted the fuel sender because it dropped the gauge more quickly than it should have (showing a 1/4 tank when I had 1/2 tank). After the adjustment it worked fine, then a few...
I have a 77 with belts mounted to the sides of the body and not the rollbar. Noticed that the driver and passenger mounts appear to be different in regards to washers, spacers, washers, etc. PO ran a 1.5" bolt in one of them and pushed a dent in the outside body.... One even had a lock washer...
I'm reading up on the many threads dedicated to solving parking brake and brake pressure circuits and warning lights. From the harness over the driver side washer fluid container, my 77 had a black wire connected to the fuel cutoff solenoid and a red wire going to nothing. Is it safe to think...
Installing a Petronix ignitor on new OEM distributor. Quick question about the ground wire. Directions state to connect ground wire to Ignitor plate, but as you can see in this photo, the ground is already connected to the plate that the ignitor plate sits on. Do I need to mount this to one...
Just received a new (OEM) dist. cap for my 01/77 FJ40, but the cap is the wrong size. Ordered for my model year. The cap on it now is red and 3 1/8" diameter, the replacement is black and 3 1/2" diameter. It was originally a high altitude model, but the engine block is newer. Can't seem to...
My FJ40 build date is 01/77, but the engine block# is 2F-789231, indicating a build date sometime in 1983-84. I'm guessing the PO had this replacement engine installed, then reattached all the original peripherals, including the high altitude carb.
So, I'm considering a fuel pump...
