Toyotally Fixerating Bitz 'n Bobs.. A Diary

My 2" Vac gauge will be here soon. I have studied comments on various Toyota site and I'm fairly certain a vac port is to be found, poking out directly below the carb/facing bulkhead.

 

Not using the Dizz vac as it is 'ported' (changes relative to throttle disc position).

 

Looking forward to carb/timing antics... ;)

New bulbs fitted... you have to remove the 3 pin socket, then pull away a rubber boot [which is a damn tight fit!] and unhook the 'hairgrip' spring.

 

Easy enough on the drivers side but a wee bit tight, behind the battery on the passenger side...

As I now have :-

 

1. Vac Gauge

2. Timing light

3. Some tech data sheets

 

.... anyone fancy me making a 'shakey hand-held' phone vid of me wrestling with ToMM.

 

Scene#1 Toyota running 'a bit grumpy'

 

Scene#2 Me twiddling screws and stops

 

Scene#3 Me gazing haplessly as car refuses to start...

 

Scene#4 - blank screen - :/

Good News + Bad (...not so) News :)

 

My £5 n.o.s. Bosch plug leads arrived in a big box .. err .. INCLUDING the cap!!

 

Cap - Toyota (19101-16120) it says inside - seems a factory set part number = Winnah

 

My loose cap - ordered at the same time cos I thought it was leads only - from Amazon, cannot be cancelled today BUT I can generate a returns label and send it back for full refund :)

I did a bit of snooping on tehWeb....

 

Seems my 'miles & miles' of rubber vac hose is 4mm id.

 

I have spluffed £3 on 2M of red silicone so I can do some refreshing 'deep down & dirty' in the nether regions.

 

Red looks rather fetching (vs. Boring Bloo... )
