I am trying to get the brakes figured out on a 1985 60. New master Cylinder, new front calipers and pads, new rear pistons, shoes and hardware. Cannot get things to bleed, I believe it is the proportioning valve but do not know how to test it. I have seen somewhere about a test in the FSM but...
1985 60 build, with 78 2F and 4 speed out of donor 78 40 series. Rebuilt engine, runs great, put in original clutch because it was good per the FSM and this is a budget build, not a daily driver. Flywheel and pressure plate was good, clutch was ok per FSM, new master and slave (correct for 85...
So, have not found anything on this but my old 60 has a bad cap, tube for the coolant recovery jug. I noticed that it appears to be an "open" system and understanding that pressure plays a crucial part in controlling temperature wouldn't it be wise to just install a pressurized recovery bottle...
Big cap dizzy in a desmogged 85/60 I have the large line to the firewall for fresh air to the distributor. Threads say the other nipple in the cap is a vacuum line but...oem would have it going to the air cleaner...not the intake. There is vacuum in the air cleaner but not really much. I have no...
Verifying because I do not want to fry anything. I the attached pic, the leads are labeled correctly??
Does the the exciter wire that is labeled "A" go to + side of coil? does "B" got to negative ? B is a Black wire. Thx
FSM's aren't great for color of wire.
OK, 77-79 Federal Aisin carb on 2F in 85 FJ60 build. Just about ready to fire this up. Attached are pis of the carb, DS, from the front then PS. I have my lines numbered and believe there correct but still have a question or two..Before anybody starts...I hovered ALL the desmond numerous times...
As stated, looking for the OD on the pulley. Can't find it in a search or resources..I have a lathe, can get a pulley and "create" a three groove from a 2 groove...At least that what I'm thinking...
1985 model 60, I modified an old smog pump bracket to mount a saginaw PS pump, all looks good, alignment is perfect but cannot figure out the pitch of the 10 mm bolts that bolt the bracket to the engine in the lower DS of the engine, between the motor mount and the base of the block. The front...
I have found a lot of info about replacement charcoal canisters and the theory is that the delco unit works because its the same size or at least close to oem. I do not even have the oem mounting bracket etc, and there are a lot of containers out there that are cheaper so...anyone ever used...
Got a gutted (under the hood) 1985 60 and rebuilt a 78 2F for it. I know the intake/exhaust is not right for the 60 but this is a desmog build. I need a little help id'ing some lines.
On the PS I have a larger steel line on the firewall that routes to the DS to the left of the master cylinder,I...
I'm putting a 78 2F from a model 40 into a 85 model 60. I know the ps engine mount is correct and believe the ds engine mount is correct, loaner was a 83? model 60.
The 60 had no brackets on the frame so I had to replace them. I believe the ds frame bracket is mounted where it should be...
78 2F going into a 1985 60 wagon.Trying to identify this bracket, appears to only fit on the lower edge of the front DS above the pan. same place as the smog pump bracket? I have another bracket as well that also fit in the same location that I used to fit a saginaw pump in the same location...
I am rebuilding a 85 "60" wagon, I rebuilt a 78 2F, out of a 40, my question is if there are different pilot bearings for those years? everything I find says no, I believe I have a standard 4 speed, long tail correct for the year, It and the tranny/transfer case is already in. The input shaft on...
I'm trying to locate where the passenger side frame bracket should be located on the frame. The driver side had enough left I could get it located correctly, the passenger side just had welding scab left so I'm trying to get it located correctly. I have found some frame dimensions that show...
So backstory, picked up an 85 60, very clean, very little rust, straight inside and out...no motor. PO had taken out factory motor mounts to do a V8 swap, life caught up to him and it lands in my lap for a little of nothing. It has everything from the tranny back and the radiator forward...
So, general question, could not find anything in any search so here goes, I'm doing a "freshening" on a 2F before it goes in a rig, Pulled it apart and found It had a bent lift rod and one broken ring, everything else looks good and I mean really good. My thought is to do the top end, replace...
