IIRC that bracket looks like the accelerator pedal stop.

That's it!, it is missing the little rubber bumper tho.

Thanks for the help guys!


Pablo,
Here is a better photo of the fuel filter setup:



I got the fuel pump mounted today too.



Quick question: Which one os the pickup and which one is the return?







Here's a replacement charcoal canister I hope to pick up to replace the stock one?

I really wanted to use the stock air cleaner assembly on this, but I just don't see any way that is possible. ...

We were able to fit it, shortened the battery mount and made new mounts for the air cleaner. Some pix starting with post #142. https://forum.ih8mud.com/az-copper-state-cruisers/603197-jim-s-fj40-tuneup-8.html#post7797860 Ended up looking like this: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showpost.php?p=7846132&postcount=214

Not the direction you are headed in, but I gave up on he 62 canister and went this way so I didn't have to loose my blower fan or move the battery

Modified the stock intake piece for another nipple:

I'd also recommend isolating that pump, it gets loud

I just mounted mine to a plate that was bolted to my slider bracket with rubber bushings -

Looking good!

My guess would the line out the bottom of the tank is feed/pick-up and the line going into the side would be the return.
Just a guess.

 

[73tlcv8]

I'm using the side connection as the return, no issues.

Thank you! Can't wait to find one of those off a 62 and put it on my 55!

Any updates?

I've been working to solve the FJ62 air canister issue and I think I finally have a viable solution.
Instead of cutting down the battery stand or swapping the battery to the driver's side (ala BJ42) I think I'm going to mount the air canister on the driver's side over the alternator. This keeps me from having to rewire the harness for a driver's side battery application, I don't have to butcher the factory battery mount and I wont cover up the dip stick.

I'm ordering the silicone hose today to start playing around. The only compromise I'm going to have to make (so far) is the forward engine lift hook will have to be removed.

 

[lelandEOD]

The other advantage to a driver's side mounted air cleaner is that it positions the intake to the canister right at the fender skirt. This would be perfect if I ever decide to add a safari snorkel.

 

[PabloCruise]

So keep the MAF on the passenger side but route the tubing to the driver side air cleaner?

 

[lelandEOD]

I think I'm going to move the MAF too. It's a tight fit but I think it'll work. Will play with it some more today.

I'll post some photos in a few minutes.

I cut off all three mounting ears. I'm going to reweld them on in a position to fit on the driver's side fender:







I put on the hood to check for clearance and with the canister/MAF positioned here. I have about 1.75" of clearance between the MAF and the hood:



I had to slightly bend the vacuum lines so that they don't rub, but you can see there is room between the plentum and the canister on this side:



The gap between the radiator hose and the MAF is also tight but I think it'll be fine:





With a bit of trimming of the MAF body, I may even be able to mount this thing without removing the engine lift hook (bonus):





A couple 90 degree silicone elbows and some extra clamps and I'm thinking this'll work. I want to run the pipe off to the side of the valve cover as not to cover the oil fill cap:





And here are a couple overall shots for no real good reason:

 

[lelandEOD]

If I settle on this location, I'm going to unwrap the engine wiring loom (need to do it anyway to move the FPR VSV wires) and re-route the MAF wire harness into the engine wire loom so that it will come out from underneath the fuel injector rail.

What do you guys think?

 

[73tlcv8]

I would try to rotate the intake around to the front so it isn't sucking hot air off the exhaust manifold, otherwise looks like it will work. Your truck is going to look great.

 

[lelandEOD]

Good tip, thanks! I han't thought of that. Guess I need to decide on the snorkel issue before I weld the mounting ears on the canister.

 

[Stumpalama]

Have you thought about a universal inline type filter? Similar to the one shown here: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...imUbXGMoS-0QHDrYHQBg&ved=0CGIQ9QEwAg&dur=1226

I'm planning on using this type of filter since it is low profile... I am also thinking of going with a modified snorkel mounted on the passenger side since that limits any sharp bends

What do I think?!?

I am thinking I wish I had the approach you are taking to your install. I am thinking I should go back and re-do my install. It is nowhere near as clean as yours...

Good job!

Fixed it for you. And, yes, highly recomend moving the air cleaner intake so you are not sucking hot air off the exhaust manifold.
