Anyone know how long the vented screw that goes up from the thottle body to the carb is supposed to be?
I'm rebuilding a non-USA 1977 carb (H3660 tag) and am missing the vented screw which I think is PN 21824-38010 Screw, Set, No.2(For Carburetor Body Set) and from what I can tell, is a...
I set about to diagnose my difficulty in cold starting my 1977 FJ45 and as I suspected, the accelerator pump is no good. I rebuilt the carb quite a while back with a cheap GP Sorensen parts kit and while everything else is fine, the accelerator pump seems like something where quality could vary...
I've got a 1977 Central American FJ45 that seems to be missing what little emissions equipment it should have. I'm looking for a source for a non-USA emissions manual or some guidance from someone with a fully put together non-US truck. Alternatively, is there an earlier year of US truck whose...
Does anyone know the size bolts to substitute for the NLA 90102-13009 and 90102-13010? Those are the rear bolts that go through the hockey puck-style mounts. This would be simple if I had the correct bolts on there now, but my Central American truck not surpringly had random and incorrect...
I have a 1977 FJ45 that had no choke cable when I bought it. I've got a cable now, but the carburetor is missing the screw and top part of the clamp that attaches the cable housing. I've looked around for this part, but haven't found it available. I was going to try to put something together out...
I am rebuilding my carb and the vacuum passage bolt, the brass bolt with a hole in it that comes up through the bottom, is totally stuck and the head of it is messed up. It looks like someone has disassembled this before, or at least attempted to, and messed it up. I really don't want to make...
My "new" 1977 FJ45 has nice--though gaudy white and red covered--stock seats mounted on sloppy angle iron frames. Does anyone have the dimensions of the factory mounts? I'd like to get something made that is as close to stock as possible and I really don't trust the dimensions of the angle iron...
This is a 1997 FZJ80 that I've owned since 2003. It was originally a MN truck. It's been in NY for a year, Alabama for a year, and KY for two years. It's now up in MN again where it is for sale in Saint Paul. I hate to sell it, but I am in Afghanistan for the next 15 months and need to get a...
Just posting to see if there is any particular interest in my rig in either the Clarksville/Nashville area or the Minneapolis area. I have to sell it since I am headed to Afghanistan. I'll either sell it here near Fort Campbell, or have my folks drive it back to Minnesota to sell it there. The...
My left headlight has been way too high for quite a while. I think the only reason I didn't get brights flashed at me too much was because it was aimed above most drivers.
Of course, the plastic gearbox adjuster was seized up. (Does anyone know if that is an orderable part). I had to take...
I have some 2" front bump stop spacers that I recently installed which contact the springs, making a "thunk" sound when I hit big bumps. I have J springs with Slee caster correction plates. It looks like grinding off the front lip of the metal cup which goes around the bump stops would gain me...
I am having trouble with RF noise on the radio from my Monster Ipod charger/transmitter, phone charger, and in particular, Garmin.
It doesn't seem to be noise in the wiring. They are all plugged in to aux 12v receptacles that go straight to the battery and the static and wine that I notice on...
I noticed a little warm draft last summer and tracked it down to the boot around the steering shaft rubber boot on the firewall being torn. It took a couple months to get around to ordering it from CDan and then it sat in the arm rest for, oh, about nine months.
For some reason I got the...
I'm trying to install the coalescing filter for my OBA setup and have decided to mount it next to the frame, using a captured nut on top of the frame. Does anyone know the diameter and pitch of the nut in there? I am really bad at guessing at these things and am sure that this will inevitably...
I've searched for anyone doing this and haven't been able to find anyone who has. This usually means there is something I am overlooking with my idea. I am putting a york OBA system, with one of the primary uses to be to fill my tires. I am running a 110 - 145 psi pressure switch. The...
One of the things I've been meaning to do for a while is adjust the headlights. Jumped out of the truck after getting home from work, busted open the FSM and started cranking away, but neither the beam nor the bubble moved. PS was stiff and creaky, DS was loose and smooth, but neither moved...
Any people living in non-urban areas have problems with poor service at Toyota dealerships? I took mine in to the local dealership in Hopkinsville, KY, to simply have the tires balanced and rotated. They never bothered to balance to the spare or do the 5-tire rotation, even though the manual...
I am currently trying to plumb my OBA set up and have been looking for air hose, but can't find anything good. Lowe's has some cheap looking stuff by the foot, and while Fastenal and Grainger's both carry Goodyear hoses, they only sell it in bulk. I've found that sourcing this stuff outside of...
I'm just finishing up putting in my york compressor and low and behold, the belt isn't anywhere near being tight enough. The kit came with a Drive Rite 39013 v-belt. Is this the wrong size belt, or did I do something wrong? I really can't see how this could possibly fit without adding an idler...
