Re: Need help installing fuel pump
Hi guys, i am really close to finish my 80 wagon, but for some reason i cant figure out how to install the hoses in the fuel pump. Aren't there arrows on the top of the pump showing inlet and outlet? There should be an inlet from the tank, outlet to the carb and a return line. The return line is a ...

Re: DCOE tuning issues
First, read this! The short answer is, yes, they will work, but not without the proper synching, jetting and tuning. Is it ideal to run DCOE's on a stock engine and cam, no it's not, but they are very adjustable, so long as you take your time to understand them. The jetting if it's close can be fidd...

Re: Radiator question
I bought mine from summit racing, it's a little larger still then BRD's. Had to make custom mounts and use the slimmest fan I could find, it clears my main pully by maybe 3/8", a shroud wouldn't fit if I wanted it too . The cooling system holds over 4 gallons now.

Re: Radiator question
Dual fans will help, but so would a better radiator. Lots of guys stay small on the radiator to save weight and engine bay space, I went the other route. I have a large Griffin radiator in my car, with a single 10" puller fan, behind both the big radiator and AC condenser, it works fine, no mat...

Re: Squealing noise
Mines been doing the same thing for a while now. Guess I should replace that bearing?

Re: is a fuel return really needed for dual 45dcoe
This is all very good information. I guess I never realized the necessity because my setup seems to do well with very few mods. I mean I'm running a single 40 DCOE on a stock mechanical pump with no fuel return or regulator or anything. Runs like a champ! The only complaint I have is if I floor it ...

Re: Adding a new weber
Just an FYI, I like welding up my own linkages for the webers so I DON'T have to cut the end off! I have had clamp ends, or cable stops, fray the cable over time and then they loosen and come apart while driving down the road. A couple quick tack welds and you can attach the factory pieces to the we...

Re: is a fuel return really needed for dual 45dcoe
You really should run a return line for all the already listed reasons. I've had trouble with the float bowls overfilling without return lines, even with a pressure regulator!

Re: Adding a new weber
I installed a weber on my old automatic corona years ago. I don't think I have any pictures, but I ended up welding together a custom linkage piece for the throttle linkage and tranny kick down cable using some of the weber kit parts and factory Toyota pieces. If you have some fab skills you can mak...

Re: Single Weber 40 DCOE Jetting questions
http://www.s262612653.websitehome.co.uk/DVAndrews/webers.htm There's a chart part way down this page showing which emulsion tubes are leaner and richer. My basic understanding is that they change where the main circuit kicks in more then anything. Sounds like you have that thing heading the right d...
