Ok. .Side of manifold is a fitting. that went to teh pcv valve I think? .. thats a wide open vacuum leak. Plug that till you hoook up pcv or hook up pcv correctly.
There are 2 fittings coming out of it a big one and a smaller one.
It will not run with an openening to air in the manifold that big.
Charles, what is the open electrical connector down by the starter?
Also make sure your pionts gap is set correct. With it at TDC it should be open and at the required spec.
Ex
I think that one on the bottom of the carb went to egr.. YOu all are gonna make me go dig out a FSM in the garage.. I"ll be honest, been working over 20+ hours at the part time gig last couple weeks so I haven't had any time in the garage.. Got Colin running and got stuff from Kelly but other than that been working.
One last question.. When you hit the key.. Do you hear a click on the carb.. Is the Fuel cut off solenoid working? You will probably have to have a test mule in the cab hitting the key.. the fuel cut off I believe is
Take those pictures, draw a little circle around where you want me or Rob to ID stuff and we'll do our best. I had a 76 FJ40 for about 16 years that at one time was my daily driver so I will do my best. (that an ok resume?)
The port I was talkign about was on the drivers side of the Intake manifold. It was disconnected..
WE'll get you going..
And you mentioned distributer swap? from what to what?
What year distributers and ignitors do you have lying round? that one was stock igniter for 76 but that looks like an earlier distributer.
i'm honestly not a fan of HEI's unless you know what your doing with one.. I could go into detail but i'll refrain. ALMOST every HEI i've ever seen in a LandCruiser was not set up correctly.
alas, lets not continue to swap stuff, I'll try to dig out a FSM later this week, will probably be first avail on friday night.. have a conf call thurs night to discuss TLCA issues and whether or not the home office will continue to be our spare bedroom or not.
According to my reasearch on MUD, the open connector by the starter was that way from the factory. The gap is correct when the points are at their greatest. However, that is not at TDC. At TDC it's completely closed. If it should be open at TDC, then we may have found a problem.
that dist that's in there looks like an earlier vacuum advance/non-usa.. that's fine, point dist is a points dist and what you have in there is a better version than the 76 one.
your best bet is to find out why your fuel level is wrong, does it have a return line? is it clogged.
Can you blow thru it with a compressed air hose? Listen in tank?
Is there something in the needle and seat causing it to overfill? if you don't have a level line in the carb window and it's full that's a problem, either you flooded it or the float is stuck.
And did you correctly hook up the feed and return lines.. Simple to blow thru each to the tank to see if they are correct.. I did that once.. Just don't blow backwards thru the filter.
I have a ton of spare carbs, you could send one out to Mark Algazy to have it rebuilt if you can match it to your truck. For carbs it's either Mark Algazy or Jim Chenoweth.. Either one of those two I would trust to rebuild a cruiser carb and have been to both of their shops.
Timing.. you can move the dist back and forth a touch to see if it'll keep running then fine tune it. Without any of the vacuum lines hooked up. Once it's running hit it with a timing light, get it going.
Valves adjusted at all or did they just throw the rocker arm on when they did the head?
I"l be around the house sunday.. I have manuals.
"If the port you're refering to is the threaded one visible in post #x, that does not go all the way through. Otherwise I'm not sure I see one."
I'm referring to the approx 3/4" tube coming off the bottom of the carb. Probably had a hose on it that looked like a shredded water hose that went to the old EGR system(i think off the top of my head) Post # 20 top pic.
Also.. What is the sensor post #10 third pick in the bottom of the carb? I don't think I have ever seen a thermo sensor in the bottom of a carb. Was that there before? Is it blocking the butterflies
Your air injection rail capped on the head?
I know i'm askign a lot of questions.. There is a reason I go electronic ignitions in everything i own.
