Hey everyone,
I was hoping to get some input from the gurus on the engine, carb and dizzy in my new pig. All I have is this one image at this point, but I think it's pretty revealing, at least it should be for many of you. I'm just thread diving at this point.
Engine - from what I've read I'm guessing this is maybe a post 71 F155? Top oil filler, no filler on left of engine? Any thoughts? What's up with the new school oil filter facing that direction? Haven't seen that on any pics online.
Carb - I have no clue. I'm super new to this but it doesnt look like th Aisin or a Weber, but what do I know? I've searched for all sorts of images and carbs on Fj40's and 55s but haven't seen anything that looks like this. I'm also not seeing a vaccum connection on there. Pighead pointed this out on my intro post, but maybe you just can't see it from this angle? There appears to be no vaccuum line to the dizzy...
Dizzy - which leads to this. I'm no expert but it looks to me like the 1924236 D9 Gm Delco from the "Mystery 1976 Distribuor" thread Mystery 1976 distributor..? I'm told I should throw this in my neighbor's yard, correct? It would look good next to his Hyundai 4 door hatch $*&tbox.
So I ask all of this because I'm trying to get a plan together once this thing gets here. I know it runs good already, but I'd like to get that distrubutor repalced asap and I'm thinking it's gonna mean a carb, or at least a rebuild/modification if it has no vaccuum. (Is that even a thing?) Ideas welcome! See anything else, let me know! Only thing to keep in mind is I'm at almost 6000ft elevation daily and do have some sub 30 degree winter mornings.
So, thanks in advance for any help you guys throw at me.
