So over Mother’s Day weekend I was blessed with another Landi. My buddy who works at the fire department got a call for an odor fuel smell in a townhome complex. Well, the land cruiser has been sitting in the garage for the last five years and the fuel line Finally let go with the heat we’ve been having and from the tank over pressurizing. So he calls me asking me if I know how to fix it and of course I’m not gonna be able to fix it over the phone.:. so the guy unfortunately has nowhere to put the truck except out in the fire lane in the complex. So he asked if I wanted to jam over with my truck and trailer. so I did being only about 10 minutes away. The owner was actually a little scared since it was leaking right next to his water heater in his garage so after 21 years of ownership, he decided to let it go. I felt kind of bad, but it would be going to a good home. I loaded it up on my trailer and brought it home and started tinkering. I was able to score a header the same day on Facebook marketplace I got it home put a battery in it and it actually fired right up. It wouldn’t idle for s*** even with a choke on so it obviously had some major vacuum leak somewhere so I decided to do a full D smog on it so far I’ve removed the intake the carb and all the associated vacuum lines. Next step is to clean up the intake, pressure wash and clean all the dirt and grime and grease off the motor and do a nice little mechanical restoration on this girl.

I really want to do efi since I’ll be doing it to my 80s k20 suburban Aswell. I figured I’d give aces efi a shot. They have killer deals. Anyone have any experience in doing the efi deal? Or should I save the 1100$ and just keep the carb… the tank going to get dropped anyway figured I’d try and make this effortless for my wife to drive
 
My last rescue in August right down the rd from a realtor buddy. The homeowner didn’t wanna take it with him to the desert and claimed it was to slow 🤣 he wanted to see if go to a good home. Couldn’t say no to this one either 1966 definitely a score too. She sat in a 100yr old barn of a garage here in Orange County for 14ys

I just figured that out. Ya that’s one cool tow rig
Sm465 4:11 gears she’s a cool rig ordered new from the dealer here in town by my buddy’s dad. Who sold it to me a few years ago. 350, manual trans no frills basic truck.
I had a 84 crew cab dually 3+3 4×4 carburetor 454 built th400 pull anything and would do burn outs
 
Any tricks I can do to the factory carb other than an oem rebuild kit? For the fj60 gotta get back on track here
