Hey guys, I joined the site today and I have been reading the forum for 2 hours now, got lots of ideas.
We bought a 1987 4x4 for my 17 yr old for Christmas. It has 22R / 5 speed / 199,xxx miles. Today I installed a Weber 32 / 36 carb, got tired of trying to get stock carb to run right.
Issues so far:
Heater core must be clogged due to low heater output. I am gonna check for a missing thermostat. And try to back flush before I tackle replacing the heater core.
When driving down the road with heat and A/C off and outside recirc air selected, I get a constant blast of cold air coming into the truck from somewhere behind the glove box?
Fuel gauge does not work, I guess I need a sender.
Water temp gauge does not work, sender on block does have a wire connected to it.
Throwout bearing noise? until truck has warmed up?
Broken stud on exhaust manifold that results in a tick / leak. How likely that I will break other studs trying to replace this one?
No light behind temp controls. I read that it is a #75 bulb?
I have read about a Toyota 5 speed that needs to be "Overfilled" to increase service life. Do I have this tranny in my 1987 model?
I know this is a lot, but I am trying to get yp to speed on Toyota so I can make my son's 4x4 a better ride!
Thanks to all who help out!
