Get thee one of these:Found out I should not be using cheap see thru plastic fuel filters with a high pressure fuel injection system... lol....
Was pulling up to Grocery store and thought.... What's that gas smell?
Car dies in parking lot....
Get out and see a large trail of dumped fuel leading up to my stalled rig...
Looked under the hood and plastic filter is busted open.
I only had it there as a way to see the quality of the fuel as I am also using the steel filters that came with the Holley Sniper EFI kit.
Anyhoo, didn't have proper tools to fix... 10 minutes later, guy pulls up and asks me what's up...
He had a bunch of tools in the back of his pickup...
Asked for a hack saw... Used it to cut a 2 inch section from an unused metal vacuum line that ran behind the engine along the firewall.
Line has proper OD.. So I inserted it into the fuel hose making a coupler out of it, tightened up the hose clamps, and off I went... No leaks, no issues... Gotta love old fixes for old rigs...
Adding random pic because you all love pics...

Where did you get those from...These came. Now I can quit guessing.
Thanks a lot... Been threatening to get those for years and wife has been asking what I want for my berfday[sic] that is coming up so seeing as how I was running around trying to find some bolts with the right thread just hours ago this inspired me to get them.

Topless for the summer
Used to drive down to Huston to do a weekend art show every March in the 90's and would watch the trees get greener as we drove south. Kind if like time laps in real time then watch things get brown on the way home the following Monday.Summer? What’s that?
Click on the Amazon image. It should take you to the linkWhere did you get those from...
On my return trip home from LA (lower Alabama) my 45 rolled the 10k mark over.

Need to check your oil!
Congrats on the mileage.
My '78 FJ40 has been sitting in storage for 8 years. I've come to the realization that she's a bigger project than I want, so I think it's time to get her ready to sell.
I drained the old fuel and put in some fresh gas. Bought a new battery. Removed the plugs, put some motor oil down the cylinders, and rotated the engine to coat the cylinders. Put the plugs back in. Drained the radiator and added some distilled water and antifreeze. Started her up and let the smoke clear.
The clutch pedal is soft and the clutch isn't engaging so it's probably the hydraulics. I'll figure out where the leak is, and probably just replace the master and slave cylinders.
Title is still for Washington but I live in Maryland now, so I think I need to transfer the title to Maryland.
Brakes are shot and some lights don't work. Debating whether I'll work on those and try to get her licensed, or just try to sell her unlicensed.
Anyway, that's what I did this week.
