Thanks for that post, it is interesting the resistance doesn't change from 102F to 180F. If the resistance isn't an accurate way, what is? What is the gauge reading?
I have a 71 FJ40 with a 2nd generation cluster and a F1.5 engine from a 73 that I've been rebuilding. It has an early style Temp Sending Unit that should match my cluster. When off, the needle sits past H as it should. When on and the engine warmed it, it doesn't move to an appropriate spot...
I picked up a Warn 8274 on a craigslist and the owner told me one of the original solenoids was dead. I decided to upgrade it to the newer-style Albright contactor type solenoid. I picked up a generic one on Amazon and have been unable to get it working successfully. I have a rapid clicking in...
Ran when pulled, the person I bought it from drove it from Boulder to Denver and pulled it to put in a 350 when he bought it. I've had it a couple years while I've been working on a rebuild project. The engine stamp says F 409618. Rocker assembly is dismantled and in a box.
$200
I pulled this out of a 72. Box, lid, seat bracket on top and mounting / swivel brackets. There's some surface rust and damage where I drilled the rivets.

Well how about that? Yes, oil filter is next to distributor.
I looked up the engine code on the block, 524369, sometime after 9/73. Vin plate in doorjamb says March 73, I thought it was all original.
Hello
I'm doing a rebuild on my stock March 1973 F Engine. I'm having the head done at a machinist who called recently and asked if I had another rocker assembly as mine was a bit worn. Luckily I have a parts engine from a 1969. I pulled off that assembly and had to undue the oil tube that...
Thanks Doug. Good to hear it can be cleaned up with a wire brush. I'll pull everything apart today.
The engine has good compression and the coolant level wasn't noticeably low when I disassembled things. It did sit for a long time (several months to a couple years?) with the hose from the...
I recently pulled the motor out of my stock 73 FJ40 that had been sitting in the desert for years. I have 20 miles on it in 6 years of ownership. I did a compression test, numbers were good, so I decided on a light overhaul; replace the outer main seals, gaskets, water pump, put a 2f Valve...
I'm pulling the stock F engine from my 73 FJ40 and getting ready to put it in my 72. The PO had it sitting for years and I haven't driven it more than 10 miles in the 6 years I've owned it. The engine seems to be fine and compression is good. It leaks a lot of oil and I plan to replace the...
Hello
My wife and I recently moved to the Denver area, specifically in Centennial. I'm currently on my 3rd FJ40, although it's been sitting for close to 6 years and was in rough shape when I got it. Now that I have a garage again and my work is shutdown because of the virus, I'm looking to...
