    Brake Booster 1978 FJ40

    I am having a terrible problem getting a replacement booster. I keep ordering from vendors that then order from a Centric rebuilder in northern California. When I get the booster it is not like mine on my FJ that is original. Mine is a little over 7" front to back and the replacements are...

    3MM VACUMME LINE HOOK UP ON TOP OF DISTRIBUTOR CAP

    Does anyone know where the hook up on the top of the distributor goes to? I have looked at hundreds of pictures and can't find one that shows the hook-up. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    poor low idle, up and down idle at times, idle solenoid help

    I am currently putting new vacuum lines on all ports where needed ( 3mm?) I wired my idle solenoid to the coil (+) and grounded other wire on the replacement idle solenoid I ordered from cool cruisers. I have eliminated smog controls as my smog pump was not working anyway. Is the emission...

    Blowing Smoke!

    Blowing Smoke when the Engine is fully topped off with oil. Bad when first starting and upon shifting. When it runs down about 2 qts of oil, no more smoke at all. Runs great and oil gauge shows a little above half on inside oil gauge. It acts like the oil is overfilled, but its not. I...

    carburetor replacement

    I am replacing my original USA model Aisan carb. The non-USA model that I bought doesn't have emission items that the USA model has. Mainly the return line next to the gas line input that returns to the EPA items under the gasoline filler pipe on the inside of the veh. Also the small 1/8...

    transmission

    I have a 1978 4 speed tranny that won't go into 2nd or grinds when it's cold outside. Also slightly going into 3rd. It shifts perfectly when warm or when fj is warmed up. This only started after I changed trans fluid. Used 90wt gear oil and its full. Any ideas what may be happening...

    ammeter readings

    I am not sure if I have a problem or the reading is normal. When at idle speed it reads correctly. When I speed up it goes up to 30 amp (1978) which is pegged and stays there until I turn on radio, put fan at high speed etc. Even then it still reads way high. I just put on a new voltage...

    Possible Ammeter problem

    I may have overloaded my ammeter gauge if that is possible. With the cluster out of the dash I tried to use a 12v battery out of my elec drill to test the bulbs in my cluster. It worked great and they were all good. I then hooked up the drill battery to the plus and minus of the ammeter and...

    heater pull switch

    my interior Heater switch moves only about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Is that normal? When I look under the hood at the heater water flow module, it doesn't allow for much movement of the cable. I have to assume this is normal....am I correct? Thanks

    Cluster bulbs not lighting. turn signals work. That's 2 on 5 on the bulbs

    Replaced all bulbs and holders and no cluster lights anymore., only turn signals. So much for preventive service. I did this while replacing my speed / odo cable. Is there a plus and negative side side to the bulbs? I used a 12 volt source and they worked in one direction, but not the...

    noisy suspension

    This may be normal or it may be fixable. When I go over potholes or make a strong turn, the susp creaks and clunks! Is this a bushing problem or normal. I hope thats a good enough description and you know what I am describing. thanks By the way, I have a 1978 FJ40 with strong frame and...
