Gear Oil Rear Differential Question

I changed the rear differential oil of my 1976 TE37 Levin. The manual stated 90w so I put a 80w-90 GL5. I started noticing leaks on my diff and looks like a pinion seal issue. I then rechecked the level and made sure the vent was fine. Then I read an article that in early 2000 they changed the visco...

Re: Please help with my1976 Toyota Levin 3TC.

Update:

I finally got it to run on the streets :D Had to order new radiator (leaking). Left front brakes is sticking (brake piston issue) so I had to order new brake caliper and piston. Had to bleed the rear brakes (rear canister was out of brake fluid) due to air.

Re: Please help with my1976 Toyota Levin 3TC.

OK, today I tried starting it with starter fluid. I really have to keep the starter going until I heard a brief VROOM with a lot of smoke and then it died (looks like all I'm getting is starting fluid). I looked around and noticed that I have a STOCK fuel pump in the tank behind the rear seat. https...
