  1. Been a while since I posted, so here's the update. Truck is running like a top. found out the emissions computer had taken a dump, and was causing the problem of the early choke pull-off and the running rich. Replaced with a unit from a '83 Supra, choke functions flawless. Took the old girl out on the I-state, and give it a good blowing-out. This little thing will get up and move. Ended up replacing the fuel pick-up tube in the tank with a new unit from the boneyard. All that's left now is paint, suspension and body work. I was amazed at how clean the radiator was, being it's the original unit. Another Toyota lives on!! BTW....DMV here almost crapped, as the truck is 25 yrs. old and exempt from emissions. Anyone know how to remove the EGR system without harming the motor? I've already dropped the catcon from it, and I think the EGR is on the way out now. Seems the emissions puter only controls the EGR, one solenoid on the carb, and the choke pull-off, which I an easilly bypass the latter.
  2. I'm looking for the repair manual for the Aisan Carb on my Toyota Truck. I'm also looking for the factory Service Manual for this rig as well. Anyone have a clue where I could get these books?
  3. I have an '81 Toyota pickup with the carbed 22R engine and 5-spd tranny. What is the best plugs to use in these motors?
  4. Well, got it going. Bad plug in #3 cyl. Had a set of NGK V-powers from my Chrysler, popped them in, purrs like a kitten now. What brand of plug is recommended for these trucks? If I can swing it, I'll go NGK. Full tune to come when money allows. :D
  5. Me and my wife just got her aunt's '81 Toyota truck from her. 82K actual miles, and chassis and body in pristine condition. I only have one minor problem. It has the 22R motor with the 2-bbl progressive(hope this is the right term) carb. The fuel pump went south from 5 yrs of sitting. Replaced that, ran good for about 15 min., then died. Supply line in tank had rusted shut. Cleaned that out, runs like new. We took it out for a test drive, and it started dropping a cylinder. Doesn't affect the powerband, but shakes the entire truck on acceleration. I'm checking the plugs out tomorrow(does it at idle now), and was wondering if a valve out of adjustment or sticking would cause this? I have experience with all kinds of motors, but this is the first Toyota I have fooled with. Any help is greatly appreciated, as wife is sentimentally attatched to this rig. :P
