desmog

Evening all. Hoping for some sage wisdom and advice from the 60 fam!!! I am working through de-smogging my 84 FJ60. While attempting to loosen bolts and remove the j-pipe, both bolts sheared. This obviously poses a problem with simply bolting on the MAF block off plate and gasket provided with...

I'm getting ready to start desmogging my 60. I'm planning on the kit from man a fre. On their website they state that it would be better to go with a weber carb, hei distributor, and headers. I would prefer to keep everything Toyota and keep the OEM manifold. I understand that I would need to...

I adjusted the valves to spec and timed it with the light gun at idle (many thanks to responses to my questions on how to get this far). Previous owner had done a "partial desmog" according to people who saw pictures. Now that the rebuild is done I want to know where I need to run vac tubes to...

My original lower thermostat housing with the 2 BVSV bungs cracked at the flange when torqued to the factory torque spec, so I bought a new one without the sensor bungs. I've got all my vacuum lines hooked up after my desmog now except for the one running to the BVSV from evap VSV. What's...

Hello everyone, I've owned my FJ60 for a couple of months now and have been getting my hands pretty dirty adding and replacing a myriad of components. I took my rig to a local Landcruiser shop near me for a vehicle inspection to get the lay low on what is, and isn't, working properly. One of...

Howdy, mudders! Need your guys’ help. Let me preface this thread by saying the 40 started just fine when I drove it into the garage 4 years ago. I took it all the way down to frame, sand blasted and went through it (except did not touch t case, or further into block than valve cover and side...

Was working through some issues on my FJ62 today, mainly a hard start issue, but was checking everything over. Ended up realizing I had a vacuum line that was pulled when I desmogged my FJ62 a few years ago and was causing the EVAP system not to function correctly. Anyways while troubleshooting...

Hello - I've been going through my '79 FJ which was de-smogged and has a Sniper on it. When I dig into the emissions book for a 1981 - I am basically seeing this detail under EVAP. What I am wondering if there is any downside to connecting the Outer Vent Control Valve directly to switched...

Hello, I’m sure the question I’m about to ask has already been answered but sometimes I feel it’s easier to start a thread vs trying to do the research. So I have a 1974 fj40 with a 75 stock carb and plan on running the AC Delco canister. I was told by Red Line Cruisers that I no longer need...

All things equal, what will bring a higher value when selling, desmogged (properly done, recurved distributor), or stock?

I have a working smog pump from my 87 FJ60. It operates like it should and looks okay. $125 plus shipping

Been thinking (just thinking at this point) about possibly desmogging my 1981 factory original FJ for the sole purpose of it running better and maybe (dare I say) a bit stronger. I keep going back to the idea that I have a perfectly good and running FJ with all factory CA smog...and I do not...

Hi all--Looking for a set of air pump / smog pump brackets, etc. (and hardware too if you happen to have it) so I can mount my idler pulley. Thanks.

So Guys I LOVE my FJ40 but VERY frustrated with my Intermittent Startup issues - hope you can help. A bit about my FJ40 - New Batery, Cables, Sparkplugs, Startup coil (Internal Resistor). - Stock Carb (to my knowledge) - Stock Distributor (to my knowledge) - Has the Evaporative Emissions...

Does MUD really need another Sniper thread? Probably not. But, here goes anyway. I bought this Cruiser about 6 months ago. PO had done a half-assed desmog (the air rail was removed, EGR disconnected, but the cooler was still hanging on, air pump was still there, along with a few miles of vacuum...

(LONG POST INCOMING Had this truck for a little bit, but now we are finally getting into the rebuild of ol' Leroy. I purchased Leroy in the fall of 2018 from Salida, CO. Found it on craigslist for a fair price and decided to take a better look at it because ya know, Colorado desert means no...

Belts are making an annoying squealing sound. I can not adjust the tension on the alternator because it is maxed out. p/o installed Gates: TR24664 for the power steering and Gates TR22401 for the Alt. both of these are too long. seems simple but my 3FE is also had its air pump removed...

I recently de-smogged my '84 FJ60 here in Mobile, Ala. I have a box of smog equipment. I also have the Aisin carb that I took off in favor of a Weber. $175 for the smog stuff, plus shipping. $200 for the carb, plus shipping.

I know there are multiple threads on desmog and vacuum line routing, but I haven't seen a diagram I make sense of yet or pictures that match what I'm seeing. Attached are pictures with the ports and hoses numbered and I was hoping to have someone help me connect the "dots".

Lots of threads out there about desmog but I can not find my specific question with a title search. I'm sure it's covered but buried in other threads. If so please link here to help people searching :) My question. I've removed the smog garbage from the 1977 2F in my Parts-O-Pig project...
