I did a search, but didn't find much. Or did not search properly. I want to put back on the engine decals that came on my 73 FJ40. I see that Specter sells many of them. I would like to confirm the number of decals there are as wll as the location where they should go. I see the F155 decal as well as the air cleaner decal. Are there others? Thanks, Tom
Engine Decals for a 1973 FJ40. How many and where do they go?

My '70 still had all of the original decals on it, so I was able to position the reproductions accurately. I would imagine that your '73 is the same.

Wow. That is an awesome site! I'm good with the F155 and Air Cleaner Service decals. Is the decal that is on top of the valve cover toward the back the "F Toyota Improved Combustion System" decal? Also, Specter has a "F Engine Measurement" decal. Where does this go? Are there any that I am missing (besides these four)?
Thanks! Tom
Thanks! Tom
The decal on top of the valve cover is the measurement decal. Check with AATLAS1X in the vendors area. He is the expert and makes really nice reproduction decals.
Mine did not have one when I bought it, but that doesn't mean it didn't come with one.
Aatlas' website is metrictlc.com I highly recommend his stuff. I have the F155 and air cleaner decal on my '73. His site will help you with identifying all the stickers you will need too.

Hey guys.
The improved was on the passenger side valve cover on the rear section between the stampings.
I have seen black, purple and green air cleaner decals. They are identical other than color SMS last two xx in part number.
To give you some history, I have been tinkering around with vintage land cruisers since I was 15 as my first LC in '85 was a '73 FST and I drove the piss out if it. Races in the HS drags and took 3rd place as it was consistent. Still have the "Woodburn drag script" news paper.
Since then I've had a great passion for them. When I started restoring them a little over 15 years ago I got to a point where they looked new, but none of the documentation decals were gone. So I took it another step and started reproducing decals. It's taken me 15 years to get to the point in at today and adding new ones as I acquire them.
I've done me best to build a site that breaks them down by model and years. Lots of research, pictures and lots of documentation.
If you come across one that I don't have, I'll recreate it and supply you with a new one at no charge.
Check out my new site www.metrictlc.com and its only been up for a week.
Then www.LabRak.com for you guys that like quality expedition gear.
Thanks for the kind words and ill help any way I can.
Also check out my 1981 resto in my sig line, that will get you up to speed on how OCD I am.
Cheers.
