Hoping a Landcruiser friend is in the area that could grab a part I found on Craigslist and ship it to me. The guy listing it said he’s only doing a local sale. Unfortunately for me, I’m in Texas. It’s an old air cleaner for a corvette, and not super rare (they make reproduction pieces), but...
You have now fixed the advance and will need to reset timing to be correct with factory spec (not set to compensate for the incorrect advance). rotate engine to 7 btdc and verify the rotor is pointing to the bolt just above on the pushrod cover. then rotate distributor where points just open...
If the weights were frozen would the spring check still technically snap the distributor back? Only verifying the springs are there and operating, but perhaps the centrifugal weights aren’t free moving allowing advance? Could any sort of corrosion or drag alter the performance/resistance of the...
I can’t remember off the top of my head, it’s either a screw under the rotor in the shaft or I think there are two retainers that hold the plate assembly in. Yes the weights should be under that.
Are you working with an original distributor? (Never mind noticed the experts figured that out already)
Is the mechanical advance working properly? Sometimes you can just remove the cap and clean up the weight surfaces and make sure the springs aren’t missing to make it work again. My 60 and...
me personally I’d get rid of the electric pump. The mechanical fuel pump was a system Toyota believed in and In my opinion for good reason. It’s been a long time since I’ve messed with the fuel system in a 2f, but I believe the mechanical fuel pumps push less than 10psi. The wrong electric pump...
Didn’t see if someone mentioned this, but with the electric fuel pump are you sure the pressure isn’t too high and over powering the float in the carb causing a flooding/rich condition after running?
Second are you sure the float level is set correctly? The fuel should be I believe halfway in...
Thanks for the replies.
I agree the honing may not be the ideal solution. I’m looking at a wire brush on a drill to help remove the rust scale then treat with some sort of rust stop.
Can anyone tell me the rear inner axle tube/housing diameter? I want to run a hone through it to clean away all of the rust. I’d measure it myself except I don’t have the ability at the moment. Thanks fellow mudders!
Mine ran without exhaust or o2 sensors. So that shouldn't matter. Just ran like crap. I had the same problem and found out that my fuel filter was clogging and starving the engine. The new electronic pump managed to suck all the garbage I had in my tank that normally settled to the bottom with...
I used a mixture of water and vinegar to clean hard water spots off large boats. Start with about a 25% vinegar to water mix in a spray bottle and treat like window cleaner. If its jot strong enough add more vinegar. It always makes the windows, gel coat and stainless come out spotless. Also...
Can you just figure out where the cut it and connect the two wires back together? It couldn't be to far considering it comes in to the firewall only a foot or so away from the cluster.
I would worry about the dash until you find the temp sensor wire and ground it. That should like posted earlier, make the gauge read hot " all the way to the right".
That looks like a plug to plug the egr system from putting exhaust back into the head. The temp sensor on mine is gold in color and close to the firewall. Has a single yellow wire coming off it. Same general spot on the engine as the picture shown just towards the back.
why dont you explain exactly how you have it wired with some better pictures. for example, what wire is the distributor connected to on the ignitor? how is the ignitor connected to the coil? it still sounds to me like you have it wired wrong. make sure to give wire codes. make sure that yellow...
