What's up everyone. I was hoping for a little help to know where to start troubleshooting my freshly created problem. I have no power when I turn the key. Not accessory, On, or starter trigger.
Some of you may have seen my recent alternator upgrade thread. I just finished putting a GM10si into...
Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure out the alternator upgrade path on my 73, since I want to add AC eventually. All of the threads on this I see are for 40’s and refer to the ammeter, which I don’t have (images below). I have the indicator light, but I’m not sure how that plays in on the wiring...

Hoping this isn't the start of a bad news thread but, I'm scared it's going to be. For those reading this that don't know me, I'm far from an expert on even some of the basics on engines so bare with me as this may a stupid, obvious one. I've managed to get my knuckles dirty and fix a few things...
Hi Everyone,
After a long hot summer in New Mexico I've been seriously contemplating putting AC in my 73. I've gone through the 55 AC threads but see mostly OEM or clevery pieced together systems which are probably gonna be over my head. I also see the Vintage AC systems the guys use in the...
Hey everyone,
I've been trying to figure out what to do on my set up for the charcoal cannister, VSV, evaperator seperator setup. Read a lot of threads on this, but I'm still not sure what to do. I've been a getting a little pressure in the tank when I run it. I know my VSV is dead, so I did...
I've had an issue with the driver side blinker since I bought the truck last year that despite trying everything I could find on MUD, I couldn't figure out. Essentially the blinker would flash once then lock up and stay steady on, but it would only happen when the headlights were on. No...
Hi everyone. 2 weeks ago I had a local shop install a new clutch in my 73 FJ55, including new pressure plate, disc, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, rear main seal, and trans front seal. I bought the parts from Cruiser Corps. The fork and slave were in solid shape so I didn't do them. Less...
I'm having Mark 65swb45 rebuild my Aisin and he asked that I post some images here rergading some of the unknowns we discussed. The fuel fitting is missing on the Aisin and here's what the Rochester has on it now. Hard line all the way to the fuel pump. Will I be able to keep this line with the...
What's up everyone. My name is Cody. I'm in Albuqueruqe. Recently bought a really clean FJ55! Sadly she's still back east, but I should have her in the next 10 days or so. I have an old business contact who's an LC guy who referred me here. Maybe some of you know Larry Gorman. Anyway, I'm a...
Hey everyone,
I was hoping to get some input from the gurus on the engine, carb and dizzy in my new pig. All I have is this one image at this point, but I think it's pretty revealing, at least it should be for many of you. I'm just thread diving at this point.
Engine - from what I've read I'm...
Hi Everyone,
I posted an intro this am in the 40/55 Tech area. Didn't see this section, but was reffered here by a few people already. I'm gonna just copy the post here to get in front of more 55 folks.
My name is Cody and I'm in Albuquerque, NM. Well, I shocked myself and the wife when I...
Hello Everyone,
Per the instructions, here's my intro in the tech area for my ride (hope that's right). My name is Cody and I'm in Albuquerque, NM. Well, I shocked myself and the wife when I won a pretty darn clean, 73 FJ55 Sunday AM on ebay! Lucky me, right? Thought I had no chance at my bid...
