Do these reman'd distributors come with a new vacuum advance unit? Because those units on their own are around $150 US on ebay. I wonder if the reman'd distributor would be a cheaper option for getting new vacuum advance units.

The jets are tiny. They would fit in a regular envelope. Probably only be a few dollars to mail. But you're right, there are a few options for achieving what you're looking to do.

xirdneh might have spare jets in the size you want kicking around he could sell you. either send him a PM here or look him up on facebook, he is on the 4wd tercel group and his name is robert walker.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-toyota-tercel/ This one has been up for sale several times this year already which always strikes me as a little fishy. Also of note, both the transmission and rear diff appear wet with gear oil. It would be a shame to spend a mint on it and find the trans and/...

How does a lift with a cutting board spacer affect the longevity of driveshafts and such? I have replaced both in the front and would like to keep them for a while =) It depends on the height of the lift and the condition of the axles. Some members here have done lifts without also spacing the engi...

Did you try another filter? I noticed these filter bodies are glued together. Maybe a tiny leak at the seam. You would think it would drip when the car is off, but with a vented tank and under pump suction when running, perhaps not. Good idea. I haven't tried another filter yet but will look at tha...

Yes, you basically just cut up a nylon cutting board to make spacers that go between the top of the strut mount and the body of the car. You have to replace the bolts in the strut mount with longer ones. I only ever heard of people doing this on the front struts, I don't think it's possible to use t...

Simon84 did, way back when. I think that was in his orange "pumpkin" tercel, which he eventually retired due to rust, but believe the old cutting board lift held up the whole time with no problems.

Was the tercel with the orange and brown stripes the one that belonged to the fella who gifted you the FSM? It's beautiful.

Man, these engine swaps are such huge projects. I get anxious even reading about them. Good on you for sticking with it.

I did my little test but there are still bubbles! I don't know how this is possible. I disconnected the front fuel hose from the steel line and placed the end in a container of gas, then started the car and watched it. Still bubbles. I removed the hose and blew on one end while plugging the other en...

Haha, hey bud. I was chatting with you on fb about the engine in my parts car. I just remembered a guy who may be able to help you. I'll see you a pm.

I removed the tank today and took a look. All the hoses were in good shape and properly connected. I also plugged two of the hoses and blew into the third hose and confirmed the tank itself doesn't have any leaks. Then I inspected the steel fuel line for the length of the car, and the hose between t...

Hi tercel dude. Gary isn't selling this car, he just posted the listing. If you click on the link you should see that the listing is now gone.

I recently got a clear fuel filter and one day when I was under the hood while the engine was idling, I noticed bubbles coming from the tank hose in the fuel filter. I'm assuming this means there is an air leak somewhere in the fuel line coming from the tank, yes? I think a PO replaced all those fue...

I only recently learned that some clutches for these cars came with rubber parts. I don't have any firsthand experience with those but I have only heard bad things about them so if possible, I would try to get a more standard, rubber-free clutch unit. According to xirdneh on this forum (robert walke...
