My 79 FJ40 project is finally running (mostly) after sitting for many years, and seemingly abused and neglected before that.
My first goal is to get it functional and complete enough to get it back on the road and have some fun with it, so I apologize for the current "patina".
A previous owner desmogged it, removing all the related hardware without removing the associated wiring, but that's another story.
I'm in the process of installing the EGR delete kit (from Redline) on the intake manifold for my PCV hose and am wondering how to route it and how best to reroute the ugly plumbing for the fluid heat riser.
I would like to route new, more compact hoses from the intake manifold below the carb, straight back to the firewall and up over the rocker cover to the passenger side of the engine.
However, it gets pretty crowded around my throttle linkage and I want to stay clear of the header.
I've looked at quite a few pictures of later model FJ40's and the ones with fluid heat risers seem to route their hoses around and over the brake booster/master.
My question is, is there a better, cleaner way to go with the routing of these hoses?
