    Distributor diaphram not working

    '77 w/ semi electronic vac retard system. Pulled the vacuum hose last night when I was checking my timing and tried sucking on the end. No change in timing. I'm assuming it's shot. Couple of questions: 1. Are these diaphrams still avail and if so where and how much $? 2. Could this be what...

    Need a quick answer, will 32x10.5 TSL's fit on a stock 40?

    I got those tires, if they're the radials. I LOVE THEM. Had them on stock springs w/ extended rear shackles for years and stock rims. You'll get some rub in the inside fender well in the rear, but they'll tuck nicely into uncut fenders. I now have a 4" lift (not because of the tires but for...

    3 vs 4 season tents

    Jason, my recommendation is to spend more on your sleeping bag than your tent. As long as your tent is keeping you dry, I would stick with it. I've got 3 sleeping bags and 2 of them were $150+. Got a good thermarest self inflatable sleeping pad and depending on what type of camping I'm doing...

    Will a leaky thermostat gasket cause this?

    oh, one other idea. Might be your thermo clutch on your fan depending on the year of your cruiser. When you start it up, you should here a noticable whorl as the clutch is kicked in then it will quiet down when the clutch disengages. The clutch is for slow driving or ideling and it locks the...

    Will a leaky thermostat gasket cause this?

    I've always had issues getting my thermo gasket to seal so I ended up using a thin film of RTV on both sides and it's been leak free ever since. You might also check your rad cap. Remember, the cooling system requires pressure to work properly and get good flow, if there is a sizable leak or...

    Leak between air horn and insulator

    There is a black piece of something inbetween the airhorn and throttle body called an insulator on my '77. It didn't appear to have a gasket on each side, but the carb kit I got had 2 that mated up pretty good so I put it on but it leaked. Went by Toyota today and it doesn't appear there is...

    Rust, Rust, Rust Everywhere! (10/74 Fj40)

    I think you need to decide what your long term solution is first. IF you're going to even consider a new tub, just bearly do what you must to get by. But if you're going to consider doing a little at a time, start with what is bad and replace it with solid metal, coat it really good so it...

    Leak between air horn and insulator

    Are there any tricks to getting the air horn to seal to the insulator and throttle body w/o any leaks? I didn't feel that my secondary was kicking in so I took off the diaphram and blew air into the hole and I could feel air come out directly below it between the air horn and insulator. I used...

    Carb. basics

    go get a bucket of carb dib, disassemble and photograph/video everything you take off. Lable a piece of paper indicating what each piece is (some pieces look the same but arn't, ie. primary vs. secondary venturi and jets both primary and slow). Dip for a couple of days, then rinse in mineral...

    piston rings?

    sometimes, it's just the compression of the rings that wear out and you can fix it by replacing it w/ new (same size) rings, other times, it's your cylinder walls that have worn and you must bore and get oversized pistons and rings.

    Shipping Costs for lift kits

    Maybe you could find a good friend willing to go pick them up and drop them by a forward air outlet. I shipped 200lbs of springs from TX to CA for $75bucks

    Locking Hubs...Aisin

    Asians should fit. If you've got drive plates now then you won't have to worry as much about breaking them (they are stronger than hubs) but your front drive shaft will be turning 100% of the time (more wear). Thats the beauty of hubs, being able to unlock them and have your front axle free...

    How does the secondary diaphram work?

    Does the secondary diaphram rod "pull" the secondary throttle plate open OR does it just allow the secondary to open via a spring load under vaccuum? Just wondering if mine is hooked up right, I can reach down there with the engine off and pull the rod freely without the secondary moving...
