    weber carb upgrade. good/bad??

    Ok. I do have a spare carb from the same year engine. The only difference I can see is that it has a couple extra pieces of linkage on it. Dont remember exactly, have to dig it out and look. What does a carb rebuild from the mentioned places run?? Rob.

    weber carb upgrade. good/bad??

    I have a 73 fj-40 with the stock f-engine, minus the smog gear, plus a header, pertronix. Runs good enough, but considering upgrading to a 32/36 weber carb setup. Not a daily driver, but a weekend excursion rig and playtoy. Would like to have more power without doing the v-8 swap. I have...

    Looks good!! I too am in the middle of a frame-off resto on my 73 fj-40 hardtop. It is about 75% complete. Working on the hardtop and doors at the moment. They are dissasembled and in various stages of repair and prep for paint. I did not go with the purist approach, kinda went 50/50. I...

    fuel gauge , or sender

    My fuel gauge, or sender is not working proper on my 73-fj-40. Recently filled the fuel tank, actually overfilled it, thinking it was empty. Gauge reads only half full. Would this be a problem with the sender, or the gauge itself. anyone ??? Yhanks, Rob.

    brake lock security device

    By the ignition wire, you mean the coil wire?? Between the fake coil wire, taking out the rotor, and the lock on the roll bar, I think its a good start.

    brake lock security device

    I do not think the brakes are pressurixed all the time, only when the system is locked. does not work will driveing, only when the key is turned and locked. I thought about the snipping a brake line to tow it away, that is always possible, but for someone who thinks the can just maybe lift the...

    brake lock security device

    This is not a line lock, It is simaler, but it locks the brakes with a key, not a switch or button. Once the key is inserted and turned, the pedal is pressed and the key removed, The brakes are locked until you remove the key. I have seen line lockes for motorhomes and motorcycles, but this is...

    sticking throttle cable

    well, once the cable is undone at the mount, two 17mm nuts sandwiched together, it does move freely. Once put back in the loop-de-loop, it does bind up before attaching the cable to the hook.

    sticking throttle cable

    I just used a multipurose pennzoil lube. Was going to the local hwdr store to look for some graphite, or even something with teflon. Being as old as the cable is I dont think it was made with teflon. Just a steel cable and jacket.

It is a device that re-routes your brake lines into a alum cylinder which locks with a key to set your brakes in place.Its not a parking brake, but a seperate non-electrical setup. The theory is that with the brakes locked...

    Fuel Problem. Vapor Lock??

    All of the vapor canister lines were all cleaned, and put back together. There is a check valve that connects the line coming from the plastic canister with three lines, to the charcole canister mounted on the fender well. It was cleaned also, maybe it is not working and not allowing vapor to...
