Do you know if the springs for the kick vents fit earlier years. TPD shows those part numbers fitting 1979-1984. Toyota-USA.Epc Data.com shows 55788-25010 & 55787-25010 NLA

Thanks! I have a 16ga BY wire that is hanging by the battery with a 3" section of red wire at the end of it. In my infinite wisdom, I labled what wires were going somewhere when I gook the cruiser apart.
This one conveniently reads "Red wire by transmission". However, its in the loom by the battery.
What by the battery would have a 12v feed going "by the transmission"?

@Green Bean I ordered these from MegaZip when I placed a different order. They fit perfectly in my 1978 - if helpful I can take a photo of the inside of the kick vent. Let me know!
I don't see why they wouldn't work unless that arm on the inside is different.

I don't see anything matching that color. Yellow with black stripe goes to the oil pressure sender, but I can't find a Black with yellow stripe. Got a photo of the location, I'll look again?

Condensor, perhaps? That's the only other thing on the diagram that's a BY over there. Its right next to the ignitor pack two wire plug:
Bottom two are igniter and the top one is ?
Another shot:
Because I was out in the garage in my socks standing on the front bumper, thought I'd take a shot:
Coming together!

Three years ago. Now, the garage is remodeled, with a new floor, new driveway and extended eight feet.
When I look at that last photo of the engine bay, that's when it sets in. I've been at this awhile.

Your work is absolutely stunning. You should give your self a great big pat on the back.
Condensor FTW. I didn't clean enough dirt off earlier.
BY wire has a single bullet connector, turns into a blue wire on this condensor. Other end of the condenser is black that goes to the alternator/block. There is not much slack when everything is loomed together, made it hard to get you some decent photos.Andrew
Ask anything you want, happy to help.
Yes, black from the condensor is just a ground. This may not be stock arrangement, maybe others can chime in if theirs are different?
Ignore my Koito headlight harness and temporary fuel lines...

This is Grade-A Serious FJ40 porn. It's just amazing the amount of time and attention to detail that has been invested in this.
The reward is going to be sweeter than any confection could ever hope to be. Beautiful work.

Can I ask where you got the valve cover acorn nuts and especially the washers? My washers are shot and one nut has a hole drilled through it!

Those look like F and F.5 nuts. I think the 2F are different, thanks though. I searched the part no on the bag in @dmaddox pic, but it turns up a vacuum hose clamp. Just went through the partsouq microfiche and found the acorn nut part no is 90176-08023 and NLA but the washer is 90210-13028 and still available from the dealer!
