Well, it turned out that my harmonic balancer had slipped, and the timing mark was no longer accurate. I put a new one on, retimed the engine,...
I stuck a small wooden dowell in the hole and watched it as I rotated the engine. Then to verify it I actually held the dowell while rotating the...
Well, stupid me, I guess I didn't check the timing marks in relation to the #1 piston accurately enough. I checked it more carefully, and it...
Finally got back to the truck... I decided I would just put the distributor back to where it ran OK, and I would drive it somewhere to have them...
Sorry for not getting back sooner. I've never messed with the carburetor, so I am not sure what kind of adjustments I would need to do. I just...
I have a 1985 truck with a 22R engine. I had the carburetor replaced a year or so ago and it has ran fine since, other than it has become hard to...
Just changed the rear u-joint (only bad one, the front two had been replaced at some point previously), and it runs nice and smooth again!...

I've got a fair amount of backlash in the rear end, is that the most likely culprit for a bad vibe that comes in with speed? 50+ MPH gets worse....
Top 5! Whoo Hoo! Just call me the Geeze :headbang:

OK, you've asked for them, so here are some photos of my truck, affectionately known as "Old Blue", in all of it's natural neglected beauty. As...
OK, new (correct) seal installed, shaft put back in, and no leaks! No need for a speedi-sleeve! The seal that leaked had a flange on it that...
I went to buy the speedi-sleeve and a new seal, but the seal they came out with was different than the one I bought a couple of weeks ago that...
Alright then, I may have to be the guinea pig if no one else has tried it!
Thanks for all the welcomes! Trust me, you don't want to see any pics, it would only make you cry to see the neglect!
I am in Riverside, and right now I plan to keep it until the wheels fall off! No mods, just basic transportation. It is great for what it is,...
This looks like a great forum! To introduce myself, I've got a 1985 Toyota longbed delux that I bought new in October of 1984. It's been...
I have a 1985 2wd longbed delux (22R) that now has a leak in the transmission output shaft seal where the sleeve yoke of the propeller shaft goes...
