Hey Guys,
I will begin to reassemble my engine after my gasket has blown.

Can anybody do me a favour and post a picture of his working carburettor where you can see the correct pipe-wiring with the rest of the car? That would be awesome ... my pictures I made did not turn out good.

The other thing is the distributor. What do I have to think about to assemble it on the correct way? Never did it before. Unfortunately I turned the engine to get rid of oil in the oilpump a few times, so the timing would not be correct anymore if I would mount it in the same way it came off. Are there any markers or so? The crank is still in the correct position because I attached straps to it when I dissambled the engine...

Thanks for your answers!

 

or the ones on the autozone website (that's what I did). Everyone's vacuum lines are different because of emissions, years, options etc.

 

Damn ... I don't have any diagram under my hood :-(

Thanks for the timing thread. This will help me a lot. You're great, guys!


If anybody has a Toyota 4runner from the year 1989, I would ask you to post a picture of the carb hoses anyways. That would help me so much, I think.

Unfortunately I could not find a diagram for my carburettor on autozone.

 

Here's a link to a pdf file of a 1988 factory service manual. Not '89, but should be close enough. http://granolaboy.net/temp/toyota_tr...4runner_88.pdf

 

the 89 4runners were carbed?

 

Some, probably very few by that time. Carbs remained an option until 1990 or even a little later. Can't remember the last year.

Just used it today to put aisin back on, runs like a champ. Also printed the page and keep it in the truck now, you know, just incase.

 

Thanks for that link, looks like great info.

 

np, good luck.

 

good post on correcting the timing.. or getting it close. That is extremely helpful..
