Build My 1978 Nut and Bolt Frame Off Restoration

[MScruiser]

Can y'all help me. I can't remember where this part goes. I could have sworn it went inside of the air cleaner assembly, but I can't for the life of me find any holes to line up with those captured nuts.

I believe inside cap of air cleaner housing, try and get you a pic of mine later

Yup! Found it. Good call, dude!

 

[MScruiser]

Thanks @tls3601 !

I could use a little help here. I'm fairly confident the red circle goes to the air filter assembly. I am unsure as to where the yellow and blue circles connect. Can someone shine some light on this for me?

 

[tls3601]

@MScruiser glad to help. Might be able to help with above pic as well, will look at mine when I get home. Is your rig desmogged?

Yellow goes to brake booster

Blue goes to VSV for evap, the other end of the metal tube connects to charcoal canister

It is.

Awesome! Thank you.

 

[MScruiser]

A couple more mysteries for me.

What connects to this barb on the intake manifold?

And does the PCV connect to the above?

 

[Toyoland66]

Yes that's for the PCV.

 

[MScruiser]

Great. Thank you again.

Ordered this 1/2" foam tubing from McMaster Carr. Exact fit, and exactly like the original cover on the rear heater tubes. Getting those on was a biatch! I haven't used my forearms that hard since I was about 14 years old.

I think I got all my hoses correctly routed. Thanks, @Toyoland66 and @tls3601!

Got my power steering lines routed and mounted my mini truck power steering cooler to the inner fender.

LOL, ok so technique involve working foam up and over by pinching, pulling and pushing?

Did you use any lube?

Yes, stroking up and down, and doing a twisty move when you get to the tip...wait what??!!!

Yes, did use some lube too (Palmolive)

I need some advice and have a few questions.

1. Can someone reccomend a good aftermarket choke cable? Mine was butchered by the PO.

2. I'm also searching for a radio delete plate. Any sources? Reproductions?

3. My Interstate battery is too large for the OE battery tray. I would like to replace it with the appropriate size, and a battery that is not too flashy. Any reccomendations?

4. I still need to redo my instrument cluster. I'm in search for white decals. Anybody got a source for an exact reproduction?

5. I need the appropriate grommet for where the heater valve cable passes through the firewall. It does not appear that this grommet is available from Toyota anymore (correct me if I am wrong).

 

[cruiserdan]

What group size battery is in there now?

 

[tstepp920]

CityRacer has some radio Delete plates they have been out of stock for a while now

Assuming you mean this grommet:

90480-01167

Still available! This is what people use for the fuel grommet in the floor (either modify the grommet or cut the hole to the same size as the firewall grommet).
