I'm all for the blue everywhere but it wasn't an option. It would probably increase your rigs chance of being stolen.

I am hoping that Lurch's name is Steve, if not you need to set down the pipe bud....
Thats is the new engine (305) I got from a friend after mine blew up. I installed a high torque cam when I did the swap
Uhhh.... Did you mean set down the bud pipe???
Excellent on the 305 - Is it running yet?

6M1 so that yer fuel hose will feel at home..............
Ya know, there was discussion recently about all the parts that have gone into this truck. Early FJ40, late FJ40, FJ60, FJ62, FZJ80 (e-locker, brake master), non-USA (H55F, TC parking brake), mini-truck. Well, I needed the high-pressure flex fuel line from the tank to the filter. The FJ62 line was $192.97. The mini-truck line was $172.25. The FZJ80 line was $41.44. Which line do you think I bought? The nice thing ... it worked perfect.
Thanks Dan for figuring this out.

My eyes hurt. Must be that glaucoma kicking up again...

Step Backwards Today
Started getting the engine ready for combustion. I played with the wiring some more ... still a little rough but better. Also decided to purge the fuel line of air. Well, I hooked everything up, dropped the pump into the Blitz can, shorted the terminals on the Diagnostic Box, heard the pump buzz, but noticed there was no fuel returning from the regulator. The pump also seemed to be working too hard.
So I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out why. There was fuel to the filter. There was fuel to the cold start injector. But there was no fuel to the regulator output. So I relieved the pressure and tried another boneyard regulator with the same result.
According to the Parts Shaman he sells a fair number of 3FE regulators, and the part is unique to the 3FE. That's all I can think of. So I guess I'll be purchasing a new regulator on Monday. Dang, I'm so close.
On the bright side ... still no trouble codes from the ECU. And with all that extra pressure, there were no leaks.

OK, who is up for a Tuesday firing? I'm off work at 3:30, should be home by 4:00, assuming I don't need to make a last minute run for parts. I won't have everything for the cooling system, so if it fires I can't run it long. But we can at least see if it runs, and try to figure out why if it doesn't. Either way, pizza and cerveza for those that show up.

OK, i'm going out to work on mine now. at this rate you will be done before i get mine back on the road.
Great job Jon! I was looking forward to seeing it fire up tomorrow, but looks like you pulled it off.
Keep setting work days and I'll try to make it if I can.
