    I have already collected every emission component I need - in case I couldn’t get it smogged - I am in CA, and not just CA .. the Bay Area of CA … meaning near SF where emissions testers are basically nazi’s … so I found a contact that works at the dmv and I got a sticker :) :) ;) ;) …. Just got...

    fj running rich

    No I’m not totally sure … but I’m pretty damn sure it has something to do with the carb .. but it could be a combo of carb and another issue simultaneously I’ll get pics of it for you guys no prob. It’ll show you what’s missing and how my PO or his mechanic Jerry rigged it after ripping out...

    Headlight juice

    right on ... Ive already checked the ground connections - i did that first. I do need to get my tester out and check the volts and ohmz they get. i do have probes for that on my tester. Will do that and see what kind of readings I get. But, ultimately from all the responses it sounds like I...

    Headlight juice

    Awesome I appreciate the suggestion. Also I do find it funny that I constantly hear back from people and they say “go to your local Toyota dealership and get x” or “get this and look it’s still available at your local Toyota dealership” with attached internet link to part on Toyotas website …...

    Headlight juice

    I drove my 40 for the first time at night in a long long while and my headlights are just too weak. Like so weak I’m wondering if they are getting enough electrical juice as I have been working on wiring issues for a while now but though I had rounded it out. Anyways any suggestions? Other than...

    Does that ignition barrel seem like it’s sticking out a bit or is that normal?

    My key is stuck … won’t turn ignition

    Ok solved - after spraying PB on the key and inserting it and jiggling around — I put the column upright and then I was able to get it to turn after some jiggling and playing … I think I should get a new key

    My key is stuck … won’t turn ignition

    Is the ignition cylinder key inlet supposed to sit out like this? There is a pin, which i picture and I’m curious if that is what I would put pressure on to let the cylinder pop out for further inspection - is that correct? (I’m gunna look for some info on that now but figured I’d pose the...

    My key is stuck … won’t turn ignition

    So I unplugged the steering column which ignition turns the car on because I’ve just wired it up preparing for the steering column switch. Therefore my old one is still attached physically hardware wise and controls steering still. (Pic to see what I mean..) Now the OEM one which I’m...

    1976 carb issue? - loud hissing coming from main jet

    I’m not sure if this hissing (aka air spewing) is normal coming from the jet in the primary Venturi … I took off my air cleaner assembly to look - just sounds really loud. And maybe my ears all the sudden are just attuned to it or it’s new which I think. I was attempting to tune the carb a bit...

    Back shock bottom eye-bolt to post bolt spot…

    Got them on … took off boots … correct me if I’m wrong, I thought the boot was for the exact reason pb4ugo explained to take them off (to keep stuff away from mechanism)…but I see the reverse thought process of stuff getting stuck inside. Never the less I took them off my backs bec of exhaust...

    Back shock bottom eye-bolt to post bolt spot…

    Very interesting - ya I don’t have a bolt attachment on mine to be able to do what you did … And I see the hole in the plate for where mine is attached now, so yours was moved there. I wonder if that’s a better location that mine. I bet so because of the exhaust pipe being so close to where mine...

    Back shock bottom eye-bolt to post bolt spot…

    As long as I measure it out it’s all good though bec the 5125’s are custom specific length shocks - so if anyone isnt measuring it specifically before they order, they are doing it wrong.
