    Ignition Lock and In Park Question

    I can turn the ignition off and remove my key without the vehicle being in park. i.e., still in "drive" but engine off and vehicle stopped. This started when I took the vehicle in to a dealer to be repaired for ignition key failure. The dealer repaired all ignition key problems but never...

    How much Timing is to much?

    I did the tappet cover gasket on my 2F this weekend including pulling the distributor out. I made sure to put the distributor back in the same rotor position as when I pulled it out. I did not have a timing light on hand to verify timing, so I adjusted it by ear and set it at the smoothest...

    1975 Fj40 ignition wiring help

    Hi! Had a quick question about the ignition wiring on my 1975 Fj40. This is part of the steering column wire harness that was removed about two years ago, so I’m a little hazy about it.

    Melt Down?

    I have this melt down that occurred from the ignition switch to the connector. Two wires, I can't tell what color they were. The female connector wires were Black with a green stripe and black with a blue stripe. Any ideas why the melt down happened between the switch and the connector?
