Hey, So in replacing my 84 wagon manual shifter bushings I wasn’t able to locate the bottom cup bushing. There were a few scattered prospects via eBay, but not much. So I ended up buying a cup bushing for $10 on Amazon for an older Miata. It required some slight sanding at the outside edge to fit, b...

Interesting, and great find. I hadn’t had time to actually search the FSM, it may be in there as this appears to be snipped from the manual. I’m now wondering if my secondary is working right too. As when I manually open my throttle to full, the secondary does not appear to open. Now, I just figured...

Yeah, the gasket I showed in the image is for the one immediately below the carb. The ones below the phenolic spacer and intake plenum are obvious-ish. This gasket here seems to fit and align well on the bottom of the carb, as well as the other one I used that came in the kit. It’s weird that there’...

1884 T4WD 1.5L 3-AC Factory carburetor I’m wanting to buy another mechanical fuel pump for a backup on long excursions off the grid. Now, the previous owner I bought the car from just installed a new fuel pump from O’Reillys M23079 rated at 5 psi and 18 GPH, a few months before I bought the car. I h...

My 95 pickup with the 22RE has vapor locked for the entire 15 years I’ve owned it. Doesn’t matter what time of year or how hot it is. It can be 20 degrees F out and on hot starts after heat soaking for a few minutes, it will struggle to fire. Long long looooong story there with those motors and heat...

14" tire sizes have been discussed a lot in the past. Maybe you could take a look at some of those recommendations and use an online tire size calculator to compare 15" possibilities. Seems like many folks deal with full lock rubs as they try to max out the rubber. The wheels look good......

Hey folks, My 84 T4WD is coming along. I have 15” aluminum Integra wheels on at the moment that I recently painted dark brown. The wheel size is debatable given the easy availability of other options out there, but if I can, I’d just assume get some better rubber on the integra 15’s. I’m questioning...

Yeah, that’s where I found the one in the image, at the yard. Unfortunately I live in a ridiculously snooty town now with very few yards close by. Pick N Pull is about an hour drive in good traffic, much more at peak commuting times. I have a box of Toyota bolts, nuts, clamps, clips etc from my many...

Does anyone know where to find these spring clamps Toyota uses on lot of fuel system and cooling system? These clamps have a double band around them, making them have a higher clamping force. Regular old spring clamps are easy to find anywhere, but I’d like to be able to find these. I’m not a fan of...

My first guess is thermodynamics and fuel vapor lock. When the car isn’t moving with air flowing over the engine and radiator, heat builds in the engine bay and causes liquid gasoline to become vaporized. Especially modern ethanol blended gasolines. However, this doesn’t explain why the engine idles...

Hey, The best Toyota diff guy I know of is a man named “Zuk” at Toyota gear installs. He does work on all diffs for older pickups and 4Runners, but I’d be willing to bother him in this instance with a call, if it were me.. Zuk is a bit of a genius with the Toyota diffs and very reputable. He may jus...

Paul, yes the headlights work very well. They (Partsam brand of 5x7 LED for $45) or any other variation can be found on Amazon from around $40 to up to several hundred. These are the cheap $50 version. I had this exact set in my Toyota pickup for about 7 years before putting them in the Tercel, so t...

I’ve also been wondering about an alternative to suspension. I want to install the MA700’s in the rear, but not sure I want to lift the front at all. So the question is whether or not a guy can run the air shocks in the rear without any front lift. Is the tolerance of the rear air shocks able to let...

I’ve seen many people modify hockey pucks to do body lifts and spacers for numerous applications with success. Body lifts, diff drops, spacer, all of it. And trust me, as a younger man I tried every approach to assaulting the integrity of Hockey pucks, they’re tough customers. They can be cut and dr...
