    Resealing a Fairey Overdrive

    I had a conversation with Georg at Roundup about the Fairey overdrive on my '78 45. He gave me no hope. I can't tell yet if this thread makes me more hopeful or less.

    RevISK’s ‘80 FJ40 - A Girl Named Norman

    Couldn't hurt. I'm going to put one on the Weber on my 45. Another thought. Anytime there's an intermittent issue, my inner voice whispers "check yer grounds".

    RevISK’s ‘80 FJ40 - A Girl Named Norman

    Do you have a fuel pressure regulator? I learned during my visit to BTS/Man-a-Fre in Nevada that the factory mechanical fuel pump puts out more pressure than the Weber wants. They actually like the Weber on their 2F rebuilds.

    Ian, I hadn't realized you had a build thread for Norman. It was a lot of fun to read. Great work bud.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    How’s your breaking? Did you remove the residual pressure valve from the master cylinder?

    255/ 85 R 16 tires on City Racer 16” rims

    show off : ) You used different tires for SAS 7, right? Because of the rubbing? Yours is probably my favorite 40 Curtis.

    Have you ever wondered……?

    My '72 and '73 projects both have evidence of this happening in the past. I did that in my '66 MGB ~30 years ago on a rainy night after wiping the moisture out of the distributor cap. Aluminum hood. That sucked too.

    Full bolt kit - Fj40 rebuilds

    I ordered a kit and am happy with it. I learned recently from a YouTube video (Proffitts Resurection Land Cruisers) that installing stainless bolts causes rust issues in nearby sheet metal. Differential metal effects.

    There was brief hope.

    Pulled the PO-mangled tcase fill plug by welding a nut onto it.

    '78 FJ45

    The 2F wasn’t holding a vacuum.

    '78 FJ45

    Good call. I’ve got the manifold off, but the replacement I have from a 60 doesn’t have fittings for the EGR or brake booster. Seems like a single helicoil could be easier.

    Thanks Ian! I’ll take you up on that.

    Several steps forward. Still not there.

    '78 FJ45

    Ichiro won’t hold a vacuum. This truck is such a tease. It seems so complete, but it needs everything. I continue to enjoy the project, and I fully realize that as an amateur mechanic I need to be patient and open to learning, but man would it be nice to drive and use this thing once in a while.

    HJ45 replacement seats vs Legroom.

    I'm 6'2" and hope to solve the same problem with 20 year old Porsche 911 seats mounted 1 1/2" higher than the stock seats. Can't go back as you've said without major surgery on the cab, but I'm hoping that going up a little will enable a tolerable seating position.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Funny timing of this discussion. I applied for my GMRS license literally this morning. Followed the step-by-step here. I'm not sure I'll ever be motivated to get a HAM license.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    In preparation for SAS, I decided to look for any loose connectors or splices that a PO may have left for me under the dash. Found this cooked turn signal wire powered by a blown aftermarket 30A fuse. So that’s why the hazards don’t blink.
