Replacing said fuel lines, the pipe on the far left (I have a Type I fuel pump) was cracked and leaking, replacing all 3 for good measure.
Replaced it with an aftermarket gasket, and also found a leaking fuel line on my fuel pump. Todays the day for repairs i guess!!
Ooh, that doesn't sound fun at all. Thankfully, I'm just doing a bunch of minor fixes here and there as they pop up. Whack-A-Mole but with parts!
Inspecting my distributor today, found out the dust seal on it is a piece of rope?! Also its leaking oil too... Ordering a new gasket now...
Yup! Probably done by the original owner, given how it was pretty oily and looked like it was there doing its job probably for a loooong time!
Need to put an exhaust system together. Was thinking of going magnaflow cat 2.25 all the way back with either glass pack or turbo mufflers..
Headed to JCCS in October!! Can wait to see a bunch of cool cars and trucks!! Aiming to have my RN80 there soon! It might be my AW11 first.
Locally hunting down a decent engine shop, my 2 go to shops are closed now.. hard times hitting errbody.

Hey there. Are you still active here? I’m in Smokey point. I own 2 hilux. 86 and a 80. I’d love to chat with ya!
FYI: I will be transporting from Scottsdale AZ to SoSF CA in mid May. Looking to pickup parts along the way (AZ to SoCal to NoCal).
…& probably will also need LOTS of other parts & goodies! PLEASE let me know what you have. THANKS! :-)
Looking for a spare tranny (4-spd OR upgrade to 5-spd), front turn lenses, radiator, rear bumper, dash top/pad, sun visors, seat cover, etc.
Recently bought a ‘78 4-speed long-bed pickup from the Original Owner in AZ. 532K+ miles & still running strong! :-)
Came across a good deal for a Windsor 302 plus oe clutch kit and t5 in decent shape.. but then for sure need the smog connect!!
Isn't one of they things to make a swap legal in California just putting in a newer motor that meet emissions standards for the time?
Na they added things like, motor has to be of same amount of cyl., Has to be newer and I believe same automaker.. plus all emissions related to such motor. Then a state reff needs to be ok with it before it gets smogged. I have the reference manual just dnt remember exactly atm
