Last month was a rough month for Speedy (the kids' name for the FJ--I guess her exhaust sounds fast :)) Figured out she has multiple cracks in the exhaust manifold and finally tracked down problems with the rear heater and radiator/thermostat hoses leaking and overheating to the head. Finally pulled the head off and destroyed the air-injection manifold. Hoping the head is not cracked--it is at the shop being examined. On the bright side, I guess it is a good time to work on the steering box, which is pretty darn sloppy.

Anyone know if a rebuild kit exists for the steering box? Also, anyone have an extra air-injection manifold for a 76' they would be willing to part with or know of a way to weld and fix what I have? See pics. Thanks!
