Water leak into driver's side footwell

I 'suddenly' have this leak into the driver's side footwell. I did have a leak on both sides, but sealing the vent scuttle plastic thing where it meets the vent fixed that. I sealed the windscreen up three times assuming it was coming in here, but it did nothing. I traced the driver side leak to thi...

What is the deal with centre/side vents on the bulkhead?

I have a 1984 SJ410 commercial - it has a vent on the side on the bulkhead, and I've never seen one before - only ever seeing a centre vent.
I discovered this when I went to get bits off another 84 SJ (namely the heater box), which had a centre vent, and discovered it wouldn't fit.

Re: Starting from cold, not starting from warm... SJ 413

A carburettor has to run spot on, otherwise adjusting things will throw something else out. I learnt to leave it alone if it runs well - I had a mk1 Subaru Justy and for some reason I had to start messing round with the carb and it never ran again.

SJ410 - rear propshaft "play"

I've had my SJ since July last year, I've spent the past six months restoring it, and put it back on the road a couple of days ago. It's fine, but there has (and always has been) a rumble from the back. I've cleaned up the running gear and repainted them - putting the rear prop back in, I noticed th...

Re: SJ410 Engine Transplant

Hi, I also have an early SJ - I attempted to put a 16v G13B in (I sold the original F10A), but with the mounts being different on the chassis and the tunnel being the wrong shape and everything, I abandoned it and then bought another F10A and put that back in. I bought the whole lot as a package, bu...

Re: SJ 410 Alternator Wires

My old engine had a connector with three pins, the other engine (assume it's a later type) I got had one for two.
