Bad and busted

Hey, George
I got a 72 cruiser with sbc 350/sm420/oriontcase. I bought the truck put together already and dont know who built it. I was driving down the interstate in GA and it almost locked up on me. When i pulled it apart i found that the inside bolt of the orion had vibrated out and it chewed the head of the bolt pretty good. What am i looking at to get the case rebuilt? Thanks for the help.

 

[orangefj45]

Which bolt came out?!


Could you post some pics?


I'll be happy to help.

90 degree breather

Was hoping you could tell me where I could get one of those 90 degree breathers for the orion transfer case? I have one of those spring caps on mine and would like to attach a hose to a breather in the engine firewall.

I get them at a local hardware store. They're 1/2" pipe thread so you need to tap the top cover. The existing hole is big enough for the 1/2" pipe tap; no drilling required.

Thanks. I worry because I just spend a bunch of money having my transfer case resealed. And the thought of taking the top cover off scares me.

 

[orangefj45]

It's really very simple. Just pull the cover,tap it, install a new fitting and put it back on. If the original gasket stays in one piece, then run it. If not, get a new one.

Okay, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the info.

I need to bookmaker this thread, can you do gear ratio changes in 1976 fj55 transfer case.

 

[orangefj45]

You can install an Orion in your FJ55. Not a problem at all.

Do you still do these?

Yes sir!

Yes sir!

The marlin cases, are they made to order, or do you have some finished ones? I have Toyota 3 speed in my FJ now, but I'd much rather swap it out than send it off and not have a car for weeks!

 

[orangefj45]

I'm not sure what you're asking.

If you're refers g the the Marlin Toybox, they are built to order by Marlin Crawler.

[DeadguyLLC]

well, I saw in the old post that you had a few cases sitting around. Are those rebuilds of Toyota 3 speeds with Orion parts?

 

[orangefj45]

I have Orion kits in stock and can configure them to work with the 10 or 16 spline input gears.
