This thing has taken up so much of my time in the last two days! If you look at a pic of it, there is a thin wire retainer that slips in the divits that are to the retainer wire......I even went to home depot to get some tool that I think will help...This is a two man job...Last night, I put...
I am almost done installig FAST EZ EFI system. 350 sbc w/ 700r4. Using the auxillar 22gal. rear fuel tank only this time. I did has OEM and rear tank. I am only using one tank this time. Tired of replaced electric tank switches, dont need em both. Too much. Replaced all fuel line with AN...
Can someone please tell me a good place to tap in to the wiring harness under the hood on the passenger side? That is the side I need to put the O2 sensor. It has to be a switched run/start circuit to work properly. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
thanks Kevin, When I get the ecu issue ironed out and get through emmissons Ill bring her down. I am going to look through all my build files from 95 and see if I can figure out everything we used from Advanced adapters. I do remember the 700r4 came out of an 87 silverado 4x4. We had to get...
I live in Mesa Arizona. I have a 73 FJ40. In 1995 I put a crate 350 four bolt main. It was a stock short block. I had Four Wheeler Supply in Phoenix do the conversion. Worked Great! Used everything that Advance adapters offered at the time. It has a long drive train due to a 700R4...
Hey ih8sand.....I found a locking cap that works very well. I went to napa and got a locking cap for a 1976 International Scout II. It fits great! I hope this helps anyone looking for a locking gas cap for a ConFerr auxilary tank
I went down to Tucson from Mesa yesterday and bought a really nice roof rack. I thought it would fit my FJ40. It has 1/2 in. pipe place vertically to fit in the rain gutter, two in front and two in the back. The guy had all thread placed in the verticals and fasteners to the rain cutter, much...
I have a ConFerr 22gal auxilary tank I bought new in 1995. With the price of fuel going up the thieves will come out of the woodwork! I am having a heck of a time finding a locking cap for it. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jeff

I think I would bench bleed the MC. It was smart that you put an adjustable proportioning valve. Dont let anyone tell you that you dont need it. I am ussuming that you put the valve to the rear brakes. I went the JTOUTFITTERS way front and back.
I wanted to test the propo valve and...
He is correct about the 8274 not free spooling easily. The trick is , not to wait to free spool it out a coulple hundered feet. I learned this the the hard way. Four Wheels Supply on 40 St. In Phoenix told me to avoid this problem, pull it out 3 times a year. I have had mine since 1994. Had...
Went to Harbor Frieght and bought a copper spoon and a really long what appeared to be a thin vise-grip. I may if I have to pull the top section, window frame and pull out the windows all together. I have to replace the felt strips anyway. These holes are getting expensive! Jeff
Cant get to the back is the problem. The holes are in an area that cant be reached by either access panel or window crank. I dont think it will get hot enough to warp. Low setting 2 nano seconds at a time and let cool. Eventually, we will be all around. grind with 50 grit and a small amout...
Door holes
Thanks for responding! I have considered the penny backing method but access to the back is an issue. I hope that with a fraction of a second, one hit at a time method and let cool, I should have some luck. This is a pretty thick gage door. Low setting on mig should do it. I am...
I am painting my 73' FJ40 and the doors at some point someone had installed big mirrors that required four small bolt holes. My idea is to use the mig on the lowest setting with the windows rolled up and protected with wet rags and remove my original 73' mirrors and hit one side of the hole for...
Oh! I have what looks like an earlier attempt at covering the top. Whatever it is it is uneven and it has areas of actual glass showing through. Should I DA sand the top even where the glass shows through? My guess in no. What grit or grits should I use? Thanks, Jeff
Top
Thanks Dargreg! Your top looks great. I am not going to be taking anything off my rig. I have Muscular Dystrophy and can only work on her a couple hours a day. Getting ready to get out of the furnace in Phoenix and spend April to September in Taylor Park Colorado. I will get thee just...
SEM CANS
I am painting my whole rig with cans as I have muscular Dystrophy and can only do a little at a time anyway. Not knowing anything about painting a rig we have a place in Mesa, AZ. called SpaceAge or House of Color. I use their opinions. I have some places that I had to DA sand down...
I am in the proccess of painting the 73'. 35yrs of Arizona sun has taken its toll on the material the factory used over the glass material, just spotty. My answer is too treat it just like any other fiberglass repair and brush on some apoxy and the prep for painting. Does anyone know of a...
