    Carb Help...yes I searched

    I also have Weber 38 but still do not have all the same ports that you are showing. Mine is hooked up as follows: fuel supply to large port in pic one, I do not have the smaller port at the top of pic one or port in pic two, vac advance to port in pic three, and PCV and brake booster both go to...

    signal and tail light gremlins

    Still no help with the coil wire, but for the rear harness you should have RL for back up lights, GB for Left turn, GY for right turn, GW for stop, G for tail lights, and WB for ground. Side markers and licsence lights are also G. Check this link out. It is to Coolermans site with schematic for...

    signal and tail light gremlins

    x2 on Dakotas reply, bad connections in the hazard switch will cause problems as well as bad grounds. The green wire in your harness pic should go to lights on licsense plate I think. Not sure about your black wire on the starter.

    Fuel sending unit...

    I think the sending unit needs to be grounded. Try running a wire from one of the bolts on the sending unit to another bolt on a seat bracket or something close by and see if you get a reading then.

    Looking for an FJ40 to restore, thoughts on this one.

    Looks like you have everything there which is a good start in my book. Body is definately in rough shape but can be fixed with money and time. If it were me I would start the bidding in the 1000-1500 range and see where it goes from there. I got a hodge podge of parts from a 76 and 77 when I...

    need help with oil pressure

    Old wires = higher resistance = lower readings. Try a mechanical guage and see what you get, they can be picked up fairly cheap at the Zone or a like store. I know I have read that some poeple run heavier oil which may change things as well.

    HELP.....thermostat housing kaput

    I had a hole in the block do the same thing on the water pump. I tapped it up to the next larger standard size to get the threads in deaper (standard size hardware on a cruiser might be a sin so don't tell anyone). I don't see why you couldn't do that with the thermo housing. Don't know if you...

    Steps to stop rear dif leak (69 FJ)

    Yes you will have to slide your axles out to get the diff out. Not that bad really but you will have to take the inspection cover back off again, remove the bolt that goes into the carrier pin, slide the pin out, pull the spacer, slide axles in, remove the retaining clips, then slide them out...

    1971 Dark Side build

    Only thing I see missing is a nice winch to fill that hole in the front bumper. Of course, with a rig that nice you might not want to put it in a place where you actually need one.

    Had a "sad" day wheeling today

    My 40 did something similar the other day. Just passing over the lip into the garage it shut off. Key would still turn but no response whatsoever. I turned it back and forth 3-4 times then it fired up. Did it again a few days later but I couldn't get it fired back up. After checking a few things...

    Water Pump woes..

    I would recommend starting new threads for different problems so that your title draws attetion to the problem at hand (this of course only after searching to see if your question has not already been discussed in previous threads). There should be a port on the top passenger side of the water...

    where to get an fj40 exhaust sytem?

    I think that is pretty much it. I drove mine to them with the collector bolted to the header. I didn't watch them do it but i think they just started from the collector and worked to the back.

    where to get an fj40 exhaust sytem?

    You could but it will be little different on the engine end if you are running a header verses the stock exhaust manifold. I just told the guy were I wanted mine to run and where ad how I wanted it to come out the back. He nailed it. Low fumes with top off and looks good. Wish I had some pics to...

    where to get an fj40 exhaust sytem?

    Any muffler shop should be able to run it for you. I just had mine done a couple of months ago by a local shop. He ran it from the header collector out the back for 175. I went with a standard muffler but didn't want it loud. I have been pleased with mine also.
