Re: Help: stripped wire

that looks like a WHT / BLK, typically ground. If it's TAN /BLK, then i dunno, but that plug looks like the main cluster that powers that fuse box considering the BLK / RED. my suggestion to you is follow it, make sure that's the only problem wire. pull out the connector using a pick. Get a roll of ...

Re: w58 trans swap questions.

Nice. Congrats on the find. Assuming 209 means Stockton, is that 88 4runner still intact? Still have it's transfer case, pedals, transmission? Is the engine still there? I have a 22re powered 4runner auto and might benefit from a 5 speed swap.

Re: w58 trans swap questions.

nope. the 90 degree adapter only changes the direction of the cable. Also, I think i tried using one once and it re-directed the cable to the crossmember, so i ditched it. if you can attach it without any obstructions, you should be good to go. from a 4runner? so then a W56 with a 4x4 transfer case?...

Re: w58 trans swap questions.

IIRC, there's a worm gear on the output shaft that matches with the speedo gear. The two types of worm gears are 10 and 11 teeth, so i guess you get a 50/50 chance of getting one that matches. The variation on the speedo gear is between 30-35 teeth. I'm going to guess that if you get any speedo gear...

Re: w58 trans swap questions.

do you remember the car it came out of? I think there were different sized gears (number of teeth) depending on the car (since celicas and supras had different engines, final drives, etc.).

get a length of pipe and tap the starter. sometimes it just needs a little jostling. also, hotwire the starter like said before. IIRC, if you can get a clip for the solenoid with a length of wire, you can touch it to the positive lead on the battery and you might get a kick. make sure your car isn't...

Re: 4age ITB smog

Do your swap CA compliant, get it working properly, pass smog. Then do the ITB conversion and keep the CA compliant stuff in a box in your garage. When it's time to get smog, swap the CA compliant stuff back. when you're done passing smog, put your ITBs back on for 2 years. it's that simple.
