Also, check that clutch is not installed backwards.
I read this a lot (here and other forums) and am skeptical about it. If you use 'flat' blocks, all they do is raise the axle straight up. The...
"Period correct" wheels for Toyota trucks would be a 5-lug, 15x7 wheels.
Issue 1: I'm guessing it's some component in that spaghetti of rubber hoses. You should get a service manual (preferably factory) and test each...
Ah! Ok. You might want to get an alignment tool (they're cheap) and verify things still line up. Little things can acrew things up.
"Looked" dead on straight? Didn't you use a clutch alignment tool when bolting on the pressure plate? The alignment tool should easily slip in and...
Actually, the 84-88 XC with, what I call, a "stub" bed (long, short, stub) WAS available.. ... but in markets OUTSIDE of the USA. In fact, I...
LOL When I bought my truck, I wanted a short bed. But I missed all of the end-of-model-year deals and ended up with a long bed. But then, the...
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I have a dual port, 20R manifold for the stock carb. Never noticed an improvement in power, though. Mileage...
Looking at a wiring diagram for a 1979 Celica, the oil pressure fuel pump safety switch is a ground, not a power source. So you need to just...
Yeah... I soooo much wanted to bid on it but I just don't have time or space to build an engine. I believe the seller posts on Japanese Nostalgic...
Could be. The 18R is real heavy lump. I bought a 240Z (from estate of a friend who passed away) with plans of replacing the L24 six pot with an...
Back in the day, 20W-50 was popular for hot climates and 10W-40 for cold. I use 20W-50 in my 1988, 22R pickup. Today's 20W-50 just doesn't seem...
I've never used them (all my cars have been MT) but they were all the rage in the 70s with GM, Ford, and Chrysler trannies. Shifting will be...
Well.... You're not even the "guy with the last 70s Celica" on this website, either. :D I have a 79 coupe as well. From new. Nowhere near stock,...
Yup. Smog crap. I believe the carbs got a lot of changes. Not only possible yearly updates, but the trucks might be different from the cars......
AFAIK, there is only one style factory 20R intake, and one style factoey 22R intake. Exhaust manifolds did get reconfigured every now and then.
Shawny is right. Drum brakes are vastly inferior to disks. The effect you are talking about is "self-energizing brakes". This was a band-aid...
Okay... good news, bad news... So, I went to look at the wipers on my truck. They're Bosch. But my truck's wiper arm has a bolt-on J-blade. I'm...
I went through the same pain. EVERY blade with the adapters I bought didn't work. The factory Toyota arms are narrower but thicker than what is...
