Just found them... 38x14x16. I wonder what's different about the 4Runner tank?

 

[Mudder]

I don't know that answer, but my fuel pump from my 89 fit into that tank, I just have to fix the sending unit to the guage to be shorter and actually read the gas level.

 

[Toast]

Nice dude! Your my go to guy for this swap!

 

[Toast]

Are you using a sending unit from a 17 gal tank?

 

[Mudder]

I am. But the backs of the tank are shaped differently. Once I get it figured out I'll measure it and post up how long it needs to be to work properly.

 

[Mudder]

I forgot to mention. The alternator on an 84 mounts differently then one from an 89. And the plugs for the 89 alternator won't work on an 84 alternator. I swapped the brackets over. But it means undoing two bolts holing the motor mount to the engine with on bolt that's a pain in the rear to get on and off. I don't know if you want to do that or not but this way you know the difference between those two alternators

 

[Toast]

Good lookin out! I have a brand new in the box alternator from Toyota for an 84. I'll be sure to swap it out for a newer style

 

[Mudder]

The 84 alternator will work with the stock bracket. You just have to rewire the old plugs onto the harness from the 89.

 

[KLF]

'84 was the last of the alternators without an internal regulator. The voltage regulator sits on the inner fender on the driver's side, near the coil. Everything is different: mount, plugs, even the rated output. Go with the newer one if you can.

 

[Mudder]

The one I put in is rated for 75 amps. The old one 45.

 

[Toast]

KOH 2015.... Kind of diverting from the thread topic but whatever. Vacation is awesome!

 

[Mudder]

Like I said I would I finally fixed the gas guage issue. I bent the sender unit from the 89 ~1.75". You can also pull the one from your old tank to measure it for an exact fit

 

[Toast]

Hey mudder do you have pics of your sending unit you bent? Was it from a 4Runner?

 

[Mudder]

I don't. It came from an 89 Toyota pickup. I just bent where the float bends to a 90* angle and then moved the float so it was flat.

 

[Mudder]

Any update on your swap toast?

 

[Toast]

Nah I'm poor... Haha working on getting a tank... I must admit my thread is sort of premature to my swap

 

[Toast]

But hey thanks for the update check!

 

[Mudder]

Hey I get the money thing. But at least the parts getting it coming along.

 

[Toast]

Started the teardown of my RE. I'm debating on replacing the head. Question. How do I tell if this is an original Japanese head? It's got some issues, someone messed up a spark plug thread and put a heli coil down in the cylinder. It got blown away and destroyed the valve.
