If you read earlier we teased him about it already. Just think how clean every connection IS on that truck!

I think that your voltage is too high. Stock alternator and ic regulator should be putting out 14-(EDIT) 14.7

You’re right, It’s running a bit high at 15.2V. The gauge is to 16 with the hashmark being 14 so it’s reading pretty accurate. Thanks for looking out.

 

[NeverGiveUpYota]

My bad, Marc I started that... I saw the gauge as 18 and told him. Musta been the angle of the dash on your video. My apologies for being an instigator @g-man and @mwebfj60.

Haha, F out there startin S! Good stuff.

 

[g-man]

Yeah, she told me this...

I have a very evident click click noise from my wipers. I’ll have to check all my contacts too. Wouldn’t it be fun to get the volts up to 18 like @mwebfj60’s 60?

and I had flash backs of a friend with a 66 t-bird who's voltage regulator went. His volts were right up there around 18v ...needless to say he went through a couple of batteries rather quickly (overcharging) before he figured it out.

I’m a chick. I love starting s***.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Dude, I wish I had that kinda voltage capability...

Not much going on the 62, just waiting to get into the exhaust shop. I try to get a few miles in every day. Runs great, I think I like the 3FE more than the 2F but I enjoy tinkering with carbs over sensors. The 60s shake down was a trip above Timberline on an unmaintained mountain road in CO. The 62s will probably be the dunes.

Got around to doing the thirds and putting the stock hubs back on the 60 and realized one of the covers was broken. Found these when searching for parts online and gave them a shot. The quality is very good. AISIN FHT-013.

I loving the progress and the detail.

I have been looking for a throttle cable 35520-60050. Where were you able to find that?

Also, where did you find the Raybestos calipers and discs?

Keep up the good work

 

[mwebfj60]

Thanks. I got the cable through Toyota, I believe the brakes all came from Rock Auto.

An update on the dash pad repair....it has started to crack so the repair didn’t hold up. I think it would on a dash that wasn’t so far gone.
Not much else progress wise, the project was eating up my snowboarding money so had to be put on hold.
Trans is good to go and overall it runs and drives great. Putting a handful of miles in every couple of days.
Now that boarding season seems to be over, I should be able to get the exhaust and last items done in a month or so...

Pic through the windshield, hard to see but there’s a solid crack there. Bummer

They are available new. I will take your cracked one if you decide to replace it.

I may have to accept defeat and go that route. I’ll be by to see you one of these days.

 

[mwebfj60]

More mayhem...

Boo on the cracks man!!!! I am scared for mine once I pull the dash and start working on it as mine is pretty bad. Had originally planned on recovering with vinyl but after watching yours and then looking at how bad my dash is in comparison, I think I may just go with one of the SOR caps and call it good.

 

[Heckraiser]

Well, there goes my morning at work. What a thread! Can't believe it took 13 pages to start up. I think I've found myself a good hobby for when I win lotto. Thanks for posting

No doubt. Definitely a bummer. I’m not sure which way I’m heading with it, it’s fairly low on the priority list right now. I need to get street legal soon.

I’m just waiting for the lotto to come through as well! Thanks

 

[mwebfj60]

Still just putting miles in here and there. Finally burnt through the tank of gas.

 

[mwebfj60]

A little bit of progress. Seatbelts will be here soon then exhaust.
