I have a 71 FJ40 with the original F motor.
I'm replacing my fuel tank and carburetor, and am looking for advice...
1st - the fuel tank - poly or steel? I saw the thread regarding the poly's having issues with collapsing, but that was from 5 years ago and i'm not sure if that issue is still around. The poly is about $220 wheras the steel I saw for about $350 (CCoT). Does anyone have a recent opinion one way or the other, or a suggestion for a better source (price-wise).
2nd - Carb - I still have the stock aisan carb, but it's not performing well even after 2 rebuilds. I have been looking at some weber carbs, and when I last checked (sometime last year) I thought the 34/34 looked like a good choice, but looking around the forums today, I saw more looking towards the 32/36 or even the 38.
Thanks!
