Hello everyone, im new here and here out of desperation. My Baby, a 86 standard cab 4x4 pickup has been my workhorse through school, but I've done a cab swap on her in efforts to try and restore the body, and some lines such as vacuum and gas lines were miscounted for, and i cant seem to put all the puzzle pieces together. I purely do body work in my free time as a hobby, and im out of my game as a Gen Z in a world of carburetors and vacuum lines... What do you guys recommend? in FL I could care less of emissions i just miss driving my baby. Should I do something with the stock carb and egr? should I swap to a weber with an egr delete? Im purely a novice and i tried to outreach for help in my area but not many mechanic shops seem to want to work on carburetors. Please Help!!!! <3
Beautiful truck! If you don’t have one, buy or download a factory service manual. It will give you the fuel and vacuum line routing info. Watch eBay for the fsm. Get that fixed and see how it does.
Snow on the ground, that sure isn't SW FL! I guess you went to school somewhere cold....I live over in Broward County. I'm no expert with a carb'd truck, but I'd edit your title if possible and call it "Carbureted Vac Line Routing Help" or something along those lines and then post some pics of your engine bay with specific items circled, like where does this line go. There are definitely members on here who can help you get it all hooked up. Also of course the FSM is crucial, you need that for sure. There are PDF versions floating out there if you look hard enough. And beautiful truck.
I agree, find the correct vacuum diagram and keep the stock setup. Your local Toyota parts department can print you the vacuum diagram (they will need your vin#) if they are inclined to be helpful.
I'm not a fan of weber's or Deleting the EGR. I wouldn't recommend 'deleting' anything unless you have a full understanding of the system and why you are removing it. A weber is not exactly a quick fix for someone with no knowledge of carbs either. It will need to be jetted and tuned for your engine. I have found the stock carbs to be more reliable.
