    1971 brake problem

    While running some erands today I stoped to get lunch and when I got back in my fj40 it didn't want to roll. I seemed to drive with the brakes draging or something. The next time I tried to stop no brakes, the pedal was rock hard but had little effect on stoping. As I limped home it didn't get...

    head bolt threads

    Hi, I ' doing a head gasket replacement on a 1971 F motor and can't seem to figure out the headbolt thread size. They are bigger than a 12mm and smaller than a 14mm. When I look on some tap charts they don't list 13mm, so what size are they? Thanks

    front drum brakes

I then took the wheels off and put chalk on the edges of the drum on the outside edge of the shoes and put it back on still won't turn. I then tried a strap wrench...

    high oil pressure

    HI, I didn't quite trust the factory gauges on my 71 stock Fj40 so I installed a set of Autometer mechanical gauges. When I start the motor the factory goes to about 3/4 and the Autometer pegs past 100 lbs. with choke on, at idle about 40 but if I hit the gas it pegs again. Any idea what causes...
