    crank angle sensor on 2F

    Has anyone fitted one? Am looking to go distributorless igniton. Is the easiest way to just mod my HEI and leave only one 'trigger' on the rotor, or to fit something to the flywheel or elsewhere? All suggestions welcome :)

    frame flex - or not?

    I've seen a lot of threads where people do this or that to reduce frame flex. Here, most guys I talk to will avoid any mod that reduces frame flex. Comments - why do you want flex, or want NO flex??

    Propane advance curves with HEI

    Propane needs more advance at idle, less higher up. Was wondering if anyone has set up an HEI to do this with std weights, and if so what part no weights/springs/cam did you use. I'm having a few problems with mine, and as they're not a common dissy here I'm having problems finding anyone...

    front wrap bar?

    Running sua, lots of droop. 2F,H41,3spd. Broken one front pinion - have decided I really need some sort of wrap control on the front axle. Can't quite see where/how it's going to fit in there. Or should I just reangle the pinion, cv driveshaft, and not worry about the sprinngs bending...

    Gertrude - centre mounted PTO winch

    Mid mounted PTO winch... When I went to fit my winch, I looked carefully at what other people had done. In particular, at the time I had a fire truck with a rear exit winch that could be fed out of the front if required. So I decided to mid mount mine, and set it up so I could winch...

    Gertrude - 2F high performance rebuild

    The engine... My FJ40, 1975, had in it the 1.5F motor. It ran well when I first got it, but always had oil pressure issues. I replaced the bearings (crank in place) and put in a new oil pump and that helped a lot. But I was getting a lot of blowby, and on long downhills (off road) there...

    Gertrude - cut/rebuild full body into cab

    Trucking the body... I decided to cut down the body to a cab - I was never carrying more than one passenger. The cab would be lighter, and the new rear would be higher, fixing the rubbing I was getting on full flex. Also, I was hitting a lot of trees, especially at the rear, so loosing the...
