Build The Teal Shpeal. A 7-'71 FJ40

@mrboatman what’s that hard line for coming off the tee that the oil pressure sender is mounted to?

Hey @middlecalf That is for a manual oil pressure gauge. The stock gauge works but the manual just gives a little better piece of mind that the oil pressure is good.

Hey @RAGINGMATT these are the two I have they are the same as what @HelloKitty65 just posted a pic of the second pic you can see both ends are just hanging down and not in use. I`m running a Sniper EFI so no need for a choke.

Hey JP ,

That's Totally Tubular !

thanks for posting that photo , its good reference and evidence to a end game goal verdict


Now all we need to do is find a photo of a single row droplets knob in what ever year & model they came in ?

While pondering that, allow me to distract you with some Koito porn, the product of too much EBay:

One set from a Subaru, the other from a Corolla. Good enough for me.
If you need headlights like these, I know a guy, although his shipping makes me nervous.

The F.D knob for a 69’ has the ridge just like Helloakitty’s Other knobs (except for his F.D knob). My original F.D knob (Matt refinished it for me)looks like this and I think that is what you need— not that easy to find.

 

[HelloKitty65]

Miss Kitty (aka "the red one" is actually a January 1964 build, and she came with an aftermarket knob.
The Shpeal has her F.D knob, correct as you describe.

If it makes you feel better @HelloKitty65, mine came with a giant PTO knob in place of the F.D. Knob. While it’s not original I kinda like how ridiculously large it is. You really feel like you are putting it in 4WD with authority.

The money shot..

That knob looks suspiciously like Miss Kitty's authoritative F.D knob. A PTO knob to what? Perhaps it was a popular replacement in the day? Hopefully not something Mr. T used before a style transition, that wouldn't be like him.

Whoa! Haha, that is too funny. I actually was trying to figure it out the other day. Mine looks like this one (but aged much more). 2 Inch Red PTO Knob 1/4-28 (PN#165-183-001)

The PTO writing looks similar to mine. It seems to be generic knob but back in the day maybe it was specific to something?

I like this thread— not sure why but I do!

 

[HelloKitty65]

Fun site, Control Cables. I like this knob just for fun:

The throttle cable is unobtainable and happens to be my Avatar— good score and good refurbishment. Here is the OEM— I paid several hundred— but then again, I am am a spendthrift idiot— nice work as usual buddy.

[HelloKitty65]

Well fed like me between the Holidays, but The Shpeal and Miss K get all the posh.
