I just picked up an '48 FJ60. 2F engine with a 4 speed manual. Very excited. I've had a few 80s, a 100, and a 200 but never a 60.
I have a couple questions. I haven't had much luck with the search and was hope a few of you fine folk might chime in with some advice.
1. I'm not sure what kind of headlights these are. I have noticed that when a blinker is used, a ring on the headlight lights up with the blinker. (I also think the blinker is fast so perhaps the added LED is causing the car to think a bulb is burnt out.
2. Font and rear lenses are old, cracked and in need of replacement. Should I get new stock (or aftermarket) lenses or does anyone have recommendations on swapping out the front marker lights and rear lights for something better.
3. The gas pedal seems to be bent toward the brake petal. This just seems odd to me and I'm guessing the gas pedal needs to be removed and then bent toward the passenger side a bit. If anyone has any pictures of their 3 pedals, it would be easier for me to get it in the right spot.
4. I purchased the car from a great couple in a town nearby where the elevation is about 1500 ft lower. Does that elevation change warrant an adjustment to the carb?
5. I'm told i have a 2.5" OME lift. The springs are quite stiff and I would like a bit softer ride. Doe anyone have any suggestions on shocks?
Thanks in advance for anyone who wants to throw some advice or information my way.
