New guy with 1978 FJ40 (1 Viewer)

[JDNs78FJ40]

just ordered oem fuel tank from dealership here near Tampa. Right now they have additional 10% and and if I pick it up (20 min away) no shipping. The problem is I couldn’t get anyone on the phone to verify if I need to order tank plug, gasket etc or if that’s part of the ”assembly”?

Mine just showed up. Mine had the plug in the bottom already installed. FWIW.

The enthusiasm of a new 40 is unmatched. I love the way you are getting after it. Do you know if your 40 is US spec, Federal Spec or California spec. I believe the desmog can vary depending on the spec type. I can PM you a desmog diagram and some photos of mine for reference. My rig is California spec which had a Vacuum Retard Distributor so initially my desmog had the vacuum retard capped. I then converted my distributor to vacuum advance using a vac advance canister from @4Cruisers which required me to hook a source of vacuum to the distributor.
