    Tie rods hitting rims

    Have you tried removing a rear rim and tire and putting it on the front is it possible that it might have a slightly different offset? 🤷‍♂️

    Dash Configuration Reference

    I realize I’m a bit late to the party but here’s my March 79 I believe everything is stock with the exception of the toggle switch under the headlight switch. Hope it helps out somebody.

    Didn’t originally see the spark tester in the second picture I only looked at the video and saw it briefly and then I saw the picture. thanks.:hillbilly::hmm::idea:

    Fj45 - 2F not starting

    What’s up with the wire laying across the battery that appears to have a jumper wire to cylinder number two? Have you tried putting a screwdriver in one spark plug wire and checking to make sure you’re getting any spark? If you’re getting spark I would look at the timing issue as mentioned above.

    Security options

    I remove the coil wire and replace it with a dummy wire made out of a vacuum hose in the hopes that most people would just give up when it won’t start, the pros are going to get whatever they want the joy riders are going to give up and not notice anything wrong under the hood. Hopefully 🤔

    Rough running 1976/1979 2F, what am I missing?

    Thought I might add this sticker also, this is a March 1979 manufacture date. Originally sold in California.

    I realize I’m a few years late to this thread but here’s a vacuum diagram underneath the hood of my 79.

    You may just have a bad or worn out ignition switch

    1980's Pinstripes and decals - Inspiration required.

    Apparently they did this in 1979 during the gas crunch to catch someone’s eye. I guess it worked, my uncle bought it new in 79.

    The last of my issues - COOLING

    A couple issues that I see, there are gaps between the shroud and radiator. If the fan is actually mounted to the shroud and not the radiator cooling air will be pulled around the radiator instead of through it. I agree with what someone else said about mounting an electric fan directly to...

    Accidentally drove for about a mile with the “F” wire unplugged on my alternator

    Depending on the town you live in there may be a shop nearby that rebuilds and or tests alternators and starters. I don’t know if it would be any cheaper but sometimes a minor repair Will work just fine. Just for reference I just went out and started my 79 40 after sitting for three weeks and...

    7.3 turbo diesel in a 72 fj40

    That’s too bad, I had not heard about the reliability or that it was made in China, just read an article on it a while back I think it was a couple years ago.

    7.3 turbo diesel in a 72 fj40

    Have you considered the Cummins 2.8 L turbo diesel? It’s twice the price but you would probably save that in fabrication.

    Accidentally drove for about a mile with the “F” wire unplugged on my alternator

    I think you may have a problem with the charging system possibly not charging, most healthy systems when idling or in charge mode generally put out 13.5 to a little over 14 V. Keep in mind I’m no expert but that’s just been my experience.

    Is the 12.37 V that you’re seeing at rest with the key off or when the vehicle is idling?

    All that quality work on the outside, I can only imagine what it looks like under the hood. o_O

    great! from the looks of it in the pictures you've posted that carburetor looks original and may never have been rebuilt.

    krudo, did you ever get this sorted out ?

    Won't turn over..

    If you have an air compressor, put the nozzle against the inlet hose and have somebody listen next to the gas fill listen for bubbles . Most pumps do not like to pull they would rather push, so if you have bone dry fuel lines it's going to be difficult to get fuel flowing. If you do not have...

    Won't turn over..

    Are you certain that fuel is getting to the fuel pump inlet? I know you have gone through the tank and lines. disconnect inlet line/hose and pressurize the fuel tank slightly and make sure you don't have a blockage or leak(sucking air). Is there enough fuel to get to the pick up in the tank? I...
