    It is finally time to start a build thread. I purchased a 1978 FJ-40 in 2011 fully intending to rebuild it at the time. Up until now other projects have gotten in the way.

    1978 FJ-40 Idle help (vacuum leak?)

    I have a 1978 FJ-40 with an F engine from 1972 and a 34 DGEC Weber Carburetor, without smog equipment which runs but doesn't idle properly, and I'm hoping to get some help (inherited problem from a previous owner). Vacuum guage swings wildly between 0 and 10 in during idle, at a higher RPM...
