I'm looking to return my 1977 back to the original mechanical linkage. When I got it it was set up with a holly. So I will need everything from the pedal to the carburetor including the bracket that bolts to the carb. The only component I still have is the bracket still attached to the firewall...
My son came home from work today complaining that my cruiser would not go over 50 and the gas peddle felt sloppy and when I went out to look at it I found a screw had fallen out on one of the linkages. I'm hoping someone can tell me what size screw I need to get to replace it.
I've attached a...
So I just discovered that my stock spare tire wheel does not match the rest of my stock wheels. It is an older style with the rivets and will not work on my 1977 fj40 with front disk brakes. Anybody have a newer welded style wheel they want to sell or trade for the older style?
Can any of you well informed folks help me figure out what this part is and where it goes? Found it in my pile of parts and I'm not even sure its for my fj40.
I picked up a used 2f from an 1986 fj60 a few months ago. I have gotten it all cleaned up but I want to check the compression before installing it. Is there a way to hook up a battery to the starter to crank it over?
So I'm wanting to swap my externally regulated alternator for an internally regulated alternator. My thought is I may go to a sniper efi in the future. I watched the Project Wrong Way video where he used a wire harness built by Coolerman. It seemed pretty straightforward. Does anyone know if...
Well I have the pistons out to change the rings and noticed the rod bearings look like they should be replaced. I'm hoping someone can tell me if these are standard or oversized bearings. Also how to tell the diference.
Thanks!
Contunuing work on my sons Fj40 to discover the cause of low compression (60 psi) in the #1 cylinder has led to removing the head and oil pan. I pushed the piston out the top to discover both compression rings are shattered to pieces! Any ideas what would cause this? The cylinder walls are...
Has anybody attempted to have a hole repaired on an fj40 cast engine block? I had about a 1"x5" inch chunck break off just behind the driver side motor mount right above the pan after throwing a rod years ago and I never considered trying to repair it due to it being cast.
Can a 1985 2f engine block be used as a replacement for a 1977 2f block? I put a rod through my original 2f block and am hoping to rebuild it using an 85 fj60 2f block i recently found for sale. Anybody try this before?
Well I figured its time to join the conversation! I've been tapping into this amazing resource for a while now and you guys are amazing! In 1989 I turned 16 and my dad bought my twin brother and I a car to share, it was a blue 1977 fj40 (he wanted it more than we did at the time). We shared it...
