Soooo.... cruise this weekend?
I still gots to bleed brakes and dump some fuel in the tank.
Hopefully I can get timing and idle mix dialed in w/ a minimum of drama.
Are you up for a Cruise Saturday?
Sunday I need to take the @Laughingjackal 60 to go see @mcguirejohnson
If we are in town that might work, I'll have to see what we have going on if anything.

Got the carb on and connected.
Set timing, a little over 7 degrees BTDC.
Set idle to 750 RPM and then tried to set mix for lean drop.
I had a hard time getting this to work, the idle kept hunting around. Finally I realized my return spring wasn't fully returning the linkage to idle.
So I got it close and then DROVE IT! ~20 miles to an ethanol free gas station.
Yay!

So I know who to call for help setting both timing AND carb! SWEET!

I got to spend some time w/ @mcguirejohnson , he laid hands on the 40 and got the carb fully dialed in.
Here we see idle ~700 RPM, 11 degrees BTDC (5000' above sea level) and 17" of vacuum!
Nice...

Making a few update notes here...
The throttle return spring for the carb is NLA from Toyota
My local parts counter thought it was 21728-32011, but checking here makes it look like 90508-26392: 90508-26392 - Genuine Toyota SPRING - https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~spring~for~accelerator~pedal~rod~90508-26392.html
Any ideas on replacement? Yeah, the local farm & fleet is a likely source, I was just hoping for a OEM solution.

Next up - vacuum hose.
@mcguirejohnson spent a lot of time chasing vacuum leaks to get the vacuum reading up to 17", so I need to replace the old vacuum line (circa 2003?) that was never a good fit...

Closing thoughts for the morning...
There is still a random "clatter" sound when the engine is running. It is intermittent. Intermittent issues are always fun. My esteemed colleague @mcguirejohnson feels that it is valvetrain related. We set valve lash very carefully ~a month ago.
I feel like this could be valvetrain related. To me this means I either have an issue with the rockers, or the lifters, eh? A '78 would have bushings in the rockers I believe.

I also saw these comments from @FJ40Jim :
Yes, they can be interchanged. No difference in rocker ratio. The only catch is the pushrods change, because the adjuster "ball" gets smaller and the pushrods cup gets smaller in 198x?.

They are! I thought I would wait for prices to hit their highest levels - this should be the year!
man so bummed I didn't get to cruise with you guys. We are finishing up a remodel on a friends AirB&B and just about done.
Yeah I feel you. My old tires are old enough to drive. Just bought new ones last night using simpletire.com. Came out to be a tire and a half cheaper than discount, so we will see.
