today i pump pedal, pull choke, turn key. she fires right up like she always has. i scan gauges an immediately notice i am showing no oil pressure. i...
hey guys-
i am a stock kinda guy. and i love trying to acquire everything needed to bring it back to when it rolled out of the factory or dealership. the hunt and search is as much fun for me as actually getting my hands on thing.
well, in the past i have purchased a large tool roll from...
so my wife asked me if there was anyway to have enter/exit lighting on the 40 so it would be easier for her to get in and out of in the dark. i said "let me think about that." so i came up with this. i did not want to drill for anything, and easy to remove if need be.
for lights, i decided on...
does anyone know where i can source these from? since the arms themselves are NLA for the most part from toyota, i am goes to blast and powder coat. the bushings are shot and need replacing. i went to local ACE hardware which usually does a good job in having misc parts, but no luck.
thanks...
i know it is recommended to replace both at the same time. PO replaced only the master about 4000 miles ago. the slave went out this past week. is the master new enough that i can get away with only replacing the slave, or should i start from scratch and replace the whole system?

I have one of the capture nuts for my windshield hinges that is stripped. I tried to re tap with no succcess. One of the prior PO ' S buggered it up.
My question is are these replaceable somehow without having to cut the frame at all? I have not investigated to far yet. Top is still on...
Has anyone been able to take these apart, repaint, clean up, etc as to keep with a stock resto? As far as I can tell they are disco from Toyota in this style.
Or does someone sell this style? I know CCOT and others sell belts, but they do not have the cool buzzer connection or the retro look...
so i have been through the search, and found lots of info. most of my question is answered. just one little part isn't.
on my insulating block, the permeant gasket on the bottom is only bonded in the center. i can flex up the edges. is this a concern, and if so, how best to permanently re-bond...
looking for one of the older cast iron models, like shown in the top of this picture. i have the rods and the jack, just not the handle.

thank you

it has been said that the factory speaker mounts on the inside of the glove box, others say it mounts outside to the underside of the glovebox on the right, near the kick vent. i have used the search function, came upon many threads related, read through them, and all the ones that poser has...
hey guys
i have 1978 with a desmogged 2f that is running a weber 38 with manual choke. this is a relatively new vehicle to me, and totally new to desmog and webers. as far as i know she has only the mechanical fuel pump. there are some lines that are capped off, and only one valve cover that is...
simple question, i have a 40 with unknown lift and i want to get new shocks. it does have a shackle reversal if that makes any difference. thinking blistens of some sort. is there a simple trick for measuring without having to go through whole process of finding extended and compressed limits? i...
does anyone know where a couple of these can be had, or a part number to order? i am having a difficult time locating. or are they disco and only on the used market.
thanks
andy
