Restoration

[worldcruiser]

Sorry guys no pics but I have been at it and making good progress. I honestly think this is the last truck I ever build Anyways wanted to ask to questions:

First, what is the contact info for that guy who was the carb guru? the one that rebuilds them and pretty much sends you the carb ready to swap in. I tried contact Marshall (Trollhole) to buy one of his aftermarket ones but he has not responded and I need this ASAP. I just want to install it and go, dont want to mess with it myself.

Second, can you guys take a good pick for the clutch slave cylinder bracket on a 78 or newer model. For some reason I am missing such bracket and cant figure out how it looks or how it goes, if someone has a spare one please let me know.

Anyways....other than that everything is going well I want to have this thing running in less than two months and meet you guys for a drive.

Either Mark in Cali is good, or Jim ( fj40jim ) I think is his sign.

I think Josh (77cruiser) was very pleased wit Jim C (fj40jim). Might want to PM to get his input.

 

[worldcruiser]

yes I think Jimc was the one I used before. Will inquire. How about the bracket, any ideas, Darin maybe you can take a pic for me?

Thanks so much fot your help

 

[worldcruiser]

[worldcruiser]

[krzyabncanuck]

Juan, the system i have here is from a 77. Sorry.

 

[worldcruiser]

Ramon thanks or the pics. Is yours in the drivers or passenger side?

 

[mtweller]

Passenger

 

[worldcruiser]

crap mine us on the drivers, any ideas how does it look on that side? Is that correct the clutch lever thingy is on that side (the arm that the slave cylinder pin pushes)

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Looks good to me minus the nut should be adjusted properly.

 

[worldcruiser]

Ok so I guess no one knows about the issue Im having...thanks guys will continue inquiring through other channels.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Show us pics of what you got. What are you missing ?

 

[worldcruiser]

ok I will, thanks Darin

 

[krzyabncanuck]

I am trying to picture in my head what you are dealing with here. Is it the same as what Ramon posted up higher but on opposite side. I know SOR says they are the same from like 77 - 84.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

The clutch arm will be the same no matter what side it is on. Only change i can think of was from 3 speed to 4 speed. The slave cylinder will be the same also from side to side.

Now i did put a later ( i think 78 year model ) transmission / transfercase in my fj45 and i put it on the drivers side.
