What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

[flee]

I dropped and broke my old Innova timing light, so I picked up a new one with Volts/Advance/Dwell/RPM's
and compared it to the multimeter I normally use.
The Dwell and RPM's aren't even close.
I'm going with the multimeter numbers based on how the rpm's sound to me.
Has anyone else had this happen, or did I just get too cheap of a timing light?

The difference between the readings is only 5%, probably within their specs. If the true RPM is 680, each is only off by about 2.5%.

I really need to take better before and after pictures. Despite that small blemish where my zinc bath wasn’t the right size and I needed to turn the part and dip twice, I am super stoked at the results.
I’m going to 3D print the bumper pad out of TPU.

Engine/3speed finally in its home….

Sucks when the project has been going on for so many years and has gone through so many shops that there are tons of parts missing…. Hardware mainly in this instance…

Is that an original color?

Am sorry, the beautiful orange?

Thank you! It's going to be a process indeed. Lots of things are missing.

Slowly coming together…. This isn’t a restoration luckily and the clients’ don’t have the deepest pockets…. So we are making do with non-OEM hardware, fittings, etc. a lot of the bits are aftermarket which is ok with the clients as they want to see closure…

I had no idea where “Peace” fits on a 40 and looked it up. Figured others had no idea. I’m sure they are soon going to be NLA.

I replaced mine with a “peace” of 3/8 fuel line.

With the headliner finished it was time to flip the roof over and stare it down. Not terrible, but worse than I expected. Several spots had some deep weatherchecking. I did some test scraping and said f'it, Im going to strip the roof!

A little over an hour a day, three days later, it's almost done. Self etching primer is on the way. Should be here by the time I get back from my glamping trip.

If they aren’t perfect, then they probably don’t care. It’s Onur we are talking about.

Good to see you in the 40 section.

I may have an extra. I bought a bulk pack from McMaster Carr that are a great match to the OEM ones. Pm me and I’ll send you a few.
