Builds Dusty Roads - Tilda Bogue Service Station

[wngrog]

My @ToyotaMatt box arrived so I can move forward on the engine.

Awesome tensioner rod thingy he sells

Thermo housing plugs

New carburator isolator

Then I have this lunatic over to weld the O2 bung and the pipe back onto the exhaust

Gettin excited to hear some noise

Aight. I’m done for the day. Added the coolant and when it got to the thermostat it leaked like a bitch. I don’t usually “recycle” those but this one was very clean. Luckily I had another setup here.

I hate coolant.

Can you give me some insight into the header wrap? Also is that some sort of heat wrap on the fuel line? Also wondering if you ever used the Redline Sniper adapter stuff? It looks comparable to the Mosely stuff. Just wondering if/why you have a preference.

It was cosmetic on the down pipe. This one was nasty looking. I normally toss these things but you have to use this setup with the PTO

Redline stuff is great. I use Mosley because he’s a key business for my business and we have been friends for 20 years

And yes I use a heat shield on a rubber line. Mosley sells a nice hardline that I use as well.

You’re crushing it today another awesome 40 build!

Wiring it up. Fuel pump harness. Coolerman fusable link

I pulled the cover and set the valve lash.

Stabbed the DUI

I’m hunting for a good Switched 12 then I’ll be able to fire this thing off this afternoon.

Initial start I had no temp. s***ty Chinese temp sender was not good. I had to replace with one I happened to have spare. Can’t tune without that

Got the timing set to 10* and then dialed in the IAC

I had a leak in the fuel line and got it stopped so I was able to get the skidplate back on

I’ve seen Toyota ads where the exhaust was under the skidplate and now I know why. The PTO keeps it from being above the skid

Got to put all the pretty stuff back on.

I have to do the throttle cable and I can take it for a spin

I picked up a “emission” style pedal to make the Lokar conversion easy

This is the old pedal

This is the style that has the flat plate that taps the button inside for the emission system.

Drill a little hole in the plate and fish the Lokar through the

Pick a spot. They all seem to have a different spot for the cable to come through

All done.

Tied up a few loose ends under the hood and went for another drive.

So far so good.

Pulled it up on the outside rack and gave it a good Fluid Film bath.
