Same, It’s freezing over here. I can’t get the garage warm enough.
Looking Great!
Thanks Jim, the Alt is in “what if” mode in the pic. Making sure everything fits and works together has been somewhat of a chore on this build. While I have your attention, do both of the distributor ports need to be vented? We will not be using a charcoal cannister or any of the emissions equipment. Gas tank is pre ‘72 style.Looking very nice.
The alternator is shown upside down. Here's a pic of it oriented correctly.View attachment 1894710
Wait, I found a picher of an '85 ignition system in a 1962 chassis:

Use one of the unneeded smog ports on the air cleaner, or add a port using a threaded barb.
Some years of carb (78-87?) have 2 ported vac fittings. On those, use the one with a small hole for dissy vent and large hole for dissy vac advance.
A full time vacuum leak into the manifold is bad. A tiny vac leak at the carb that is only applied at higher speeds is unnoticeable.
Thank you, I’ll search my carb for an extra fitting. I’m running a non-US spec 80-something carb.
I’d rather not drill my air filter housing. It’s a non-US model also.
What air cleaner are you using?
One from a late model FJ43, non-US rig, it looks like the 1F air filter housing but has a little different top that raises up a little more.
I can get some pics tomorrow.
Does yours have the slide and rear warm air inlet that faces the exhaust manifold(similar to what we are using)?
