factory brakelines are 3/16"
So about 1mm off from 1/4"...
yup but 3/16 is quit abit closer can use just have to b careful on the double flare wanting to split to to thinness
Its not a line lock just a valve to manually close to trap the pressure until you open for normal flow.
The pickup had some repaired sections of brakelines, where the PO used a union with compression fittings (nut and farrel), but I am not sure of the size.
I am trying to remember what size I used when I changed a section out under the 4runner, i think I just brought a piece of tubing I cut out from the truck to Orillies nd matched it up. I thought it was a number that ended in a 32nd but it may have been 3/16th I used. been a long time ago that I blew a brakeline out at Sicily island.
Orillies had a nice selection of brass unions as I recall.
What's the cause?
Alright last night I pulled the exhaust and intake manifolds back from the head. I was expecting some "steam cleaning" on the exhaust ports, but I don't see it. I'm not a mechanic, but I know that this doesn't look right. The picture below is of the #4 and #5 exhaust ports. Exhaust ports 1,2,3,5,6 all look like the exhaust port on the left. The other picture is just a close up. Does any one have an idea of what I can expect from this?
Thanks,
Justin

looks like glycol & carbon to me
is it gritty and have a sweet smell ? am talkin bout the stuff in the #4 port
look in the spark plug hole with a bore scope bet the top on the piston is cleaner than the rest
also the plug will be kinda like the port

It is gritty, I tried to pull some out this morning with my hand and it was surprisingly hard. I didn't smell it, but I will during my lunch break. My goal is to have the head off before I leave go back south for Thanksgiving. I will post pics of the piston and HG then. I am praying you're right.
Anyone know if 16" rims off of a later model dodge dually will fit a '77 Dodge D300? They are both 8-lugs. I am going to measure today and check for coining, but I thought you guys might know better and give me a second opinion.
I have a set of 16" tires that I want to put on it but it has 16.5 rims. I found a guy that will sell me 6 dually rims that are in good shape (2 new in box) for $150. I will likely find a 7th (spare) rim at a junk yard.

I was thinking about that myself. That is something I will check tonight. I know other people do this swap, I just want to make sure I get the right rims for it.
The guy I bought it from pointed out that it had bad tires. Tread was good but man were they weathered. When I went to pick it up, he said he had a set of 16's that I could have that were very good. He said maybe I could sell them or trade them for 16.5's. I said that I would probably put 16" rims on it because tires were more readily available and the taller tire will save a little money on the road (3 speed tranny).
I planned on using those tires to go to GA and back for xmas and then change them over after that. We got 30 miles (of a 110 miles trip) back to our house from where we purchased it in Iowa City and I lost the tread on the rear right outer. So I have to find a way to put these 16's on there quick!
I have to go back to day and swap a spare on. I think the lugs are 1 1/16" or 1 1/8" and I only had tools going up to 1" available. Damn the luck. I am going to borrow one of the toolbags out of one of my dad's OTR trucks and go at it again.

The problem is that motor is a POS. Toyota should have recalled that motor when about 5 out of 10 blow headgaskets. The check engine light should also have a switch so you can turn it off.
Bang Bang
Age is a state of mind.
Damn Isaac.......don't hold anything back......let us know how you really feel. 
he must have sleep in that malbro(sp?) sleeping bag last night
guess the truth hurts
They are both hub centric. The only difference is that my 16.5's are coined and the new 16's are not. Which isn't a problem since I am replacing all 6.
