The circled hoses connect to opposite ends of a metal tube which is installed inside the upper intake manifold. There is no connection to intake manifold vacuum at this point, but one problem which can occur is that the metal tube gets blocked. A cheap vacuum pump w/gauge is an indispensable tool for diagnosing these sorts of issues.
Are you really having a no-start issue, or was that a mistaken statement? If so, that is more likely related to replacing the fuel filter.
I've got an FT. She's my daily gym and boba runner and seems to purr pretty good at 120KPH. Definitely sounds better than it does at 110KPH, but that doesn't mean s***.
I thought you ran out of time and money?!Front end rebuild, little brake refresh, rear window rust fix and seal replacement.
Brake components and knuckle kit from @cruiseroutfit
High strength knuckle studs and hardware from @landtank
Accidentally bought the wrong window seal, this one has a cutout for a chrome trim piece. Oh well
No Boba, no stickers. 2/10.F350 Gasser was jealous at the Petro. Lot lizards were scoping her too.

It was re-sprayed by PO. Unsure if it matches a factory option or not. Im not changing the colour anytime soon.
Yes no start issue persists. The engine cranks but won’t fire over. All connections seem solid Rechecked the fuel filter and it seems good. I’m stuck here scratching my head on this one
finally got around to replacing the fan clutch with one from landtank. any guesses as to the provenance of the old one i pulled out? no brand markings i could find. is it worth refreshing or just toss it?
popped up the front of the cowl and vacuumed all the detritus from the corners and middle. the rear edge seemed pretty well secured by the windshield gasket so i left well enough alone. much better than before.
put a 1/4 turn on the drag link to center the steering wheel. made some bigger adjustments some months ago but it wasn't QUITE right. i think i got it this time. the pb blaster i hosed it down in back then made a big difference this time around as it turned like butter. didn't even need the big pipe extension!
and emptied about 1/2 a tube of moly grease into each knuckle. passenger side "filled up" faster with grease pushing through the opening. hope i did that right as this was my first time topping off. using the new lincoln grease gun was a treat as compared to my local parts store model i've had for 20 years. the little guy i use to grease up the drive shafts

They look good almost like Bradleys.
thats an Eaton clutch. refresh the silicone oil and it'll be good for another 30 years as long as the bearing is fine

I believe that’s what they “knocked off” lol

I tried to get my Eaton to work better and finally shucked it for the aisin, upgraded and reclocked. YMMV
I don’t know the answer off hand, but they clog up so be sure to clean them out.
I was planning on retrofitting some BMW seats but I would have had to do some cutting of the floor that did not want to do and Installed new CORBEAU sport seats with Planted 80 Series seat brackets with custom armrest bracket. It was a lot easier installing these seats with the brackets and took away a lot time from customizing the BMW seats to fit I also installed a new armrest that I purchased from eBay “Adjustable PU Leather Seat Armrest Pair L&R for Car Truck RV Van Boat Universal” and made a bracket for the driver side seat.
Put one old rusty LX450 down so another FZJ80 can live. Pulling apart the A343F to replace the busted transmission in my 97'
Found out the issue was the timing way off. Easy fix but the alternator swap didn’t fix this god awful whine noise. Anyone experienced this before?
With all the work under the hood I treated myself with some fun mods. I altered 3rd gen Tacoma MOLLE panels from Rago to fit my console and installed the Whitts end fire extinguisher mount.
is it just the picture or is ur G19 kydex backwards??? i guess u had to because ur right handed
you are correct i ordered a left hand draw for mounting it here... although not a Glock its a 226
