Removed the rust from the fan shroud today. Epoxy primed it, painted it, and reinstalled. One less part sitting around the garage.
I dont know, but Im sure it couldn't hurt. At least all of them will have been cleaned up!

I hear ya, that stock mesh is always getting bent up. Pretty light weight. Looks great.

Continued on the firewall degreasing and painting today. One more coat and I can reinstall with intake and freshly rebuild carb I finished last weekend. Hard to detail the firewall with the engine in, but it can be done. Anyone have any ideas for coating to bottom of my fiberglass hood so the mesh doesn't show through the paint?
Don't know if this will work to cover up the tell tale fiberglass look as I have never done this. But, can you use a bed liner and then spay over that with the body color paint?

Finally got the manifolds reinstalled last weekend. That was fun. Anyway. Started working on the vacuum hoses after my desmog. I have a few questions after studying all the post, pictures, and factory emission manual.
Do the two vacuum ports on the bottom of this pic get used anymore into the manifold? I think the vertical gold connection goes to the PCV correct?
From Jim C.'s sketch, these three water temp vacuum ports are no longer needed?
Red hose to secondary distributor advance?
What does this port on the carb base plate hook to?

Is this rectangular part on top of the carb still used once desmogged? I has two vacuum ports on it. I also have AC on this truck. Where does the AC high idle connect to. Thx...
Look in the 60 section and look up "my desmog thread".
The first page shows vacuum hose diagrams that shows where everything goes.

I desmoged my 79 as per FJ40Jjim and it is the same as "my desmog thread" in the 60 section.
Ill send you some pics in the morning.

1. One side goes to the HAC valve
2. The other hole goes to the dizzy

3. The gold pipe should be plugged.
EDIT: I see a pic in post #27 where you have installed a delete plate on the manifold below the carb. I did not delete both pipes in that area. One of those pipes is what goes to the PCV. If you have already cut both off and plugged them, then use the gold pipe.

4. A. The top one should be plugged
B. The bottom left should have violet BVSV
C. The bottom right should be plugged
7. Yes, the bottom hole goes to carb plate and the top hole goes to your factory air cleaner housing ( see post #37)
8. I don't know where AC high idle goes.
