Can anyone please tell me how to check and see why I cant get spark to the plugs. Engine turns over, no spark when grounding a plug to the exhaust manifold. It has recent plugs.
It ran fine this morning. But, it sat in the sun for a few hours and we can't get spark on anything. Could it be...
Mine hates mine too, I put it up for sale but don't know if I can actually pull the trigger to sell it. That and everyone trying to buy one that does not know about an FJ40 trys to offer you half of what it is worth.
My kids love it, so I think there is still hope for my wife. LOL
Sorry, I fat fingured the send too soon. Cool Cruisers of Texas has a kit for reasonable price with 4 wheel cylinders and you can get the brake shoes as well.
If going individually, they were about half the cost of Napa.
Bought an aftermarket one at advanced auto parts for $12.99 bent the tabs and it mounted right up to my radiator. Hard to see in the pic, but looks great.
So, I have looked around, drained the transmission and transfer case. Does anyone have any pics or can just point me in the direction where to fill the transfer case and the 3 speed transmission on a 72 FJ40. So far, only option I see is removing the breather and pumping it in there. Please...
Well, I decided to do a few other things while I had it apart. I bead blasted the exhaust manifold and painted them black, changed the oil pan, oil pan gasket and rear main seal.
Waiting for the parts to come in from California and will finish it up next weekend.
The only issue is the new...
Mark, Do you know where I can find just the seal for the front of the transmission. So far, all I have been able to find is the complete transmission rebuild kit.
Thanks,
Chad
Where can I find a speedi-sleeve and what exactly does it do? I have a seal in the front of the transmission that is leaking and the only other leak is in the rear of the transfer case that drips down on the transmission parking brake.
I have pulled the transmission and transfer case. I...
I head to Dallas this week for work. I wanted to get it apart before I go so I can pick up parts at CCOT if I need any. I will post pics as I go since I am sure I will have questions.
I just had Michael at Acc change out the rear seal of the transfer case. But, I am still getting a drip...
He plan is to change the rear main seal tomorrow on my 40. It has a Ford 302 mated to a 3 speed transmission. Is it easier to pull the transmission and transfer case while mounted together or am I better off trying to pull the transmission separately?
Any thing special I need to look for or...
Those are good guys at the shop it is at. The body is nice on that one. You will have big money in it before it is all said and done though. Mine had a frame off restoration, next thing I knew I had an extra $9000 in it and I still have a number of things to do to it.
These are easy to end...
Well, I was cruising down the interstate and my FJ40 popped a couple of times. So, I pulled over to check things out and proceeded to drive about an hour home. Didn't make it..
No matter what gear you put it in, it makes a high pitch squeal/grind and will not go anywhere. The transmission...
