Unfortunately, my service manual (for 1988 pickup) doesn't say the maximum amount of shimming. But it does say to check the steering axis...
For your rough idle question, just increase your idle rpm a tiny bit by turning the idle speed screw?
The CA smog visual test tricks in that old thread are okay for a quick and dirty fix but might not all be really necessary.... Redline sells a...
I had hoped my 1979 Celica FSM would have a few pictures of the W50 throw out bearing but this is the best I could find... The best i can discern...
There are wheel shops that will "fill and drill" a new bolt pattern on alloys. Although, it will then depend on center bore and mounting pad...
Hmmmmm.... interesting. I always thought the rear axles wouldn't have many (any?) issues since they're so simple. Never thought about axle shafts...
My apologies for being unclear. I've seen flatbed Toyotas with 8 or 10 lug nut pattern dually wheels but I don't remember what year those flat...
I remember the King of Cheezy Automotive Products, JC Whitney, used to sell "dually conversion" kits exactly like this in their catalog.... I...
+25 on a 16x8 is about 5.5" backspace. To calculate: (Wheel rated width + 1" ) / 2 ) + offset in inches. So 8" wheel is: (8+1)/2 + 1" = 5.5"...
Oh, jeez. I have to apologize. I had it backwards, assuming the wiring for 1979 Celica is the same as OP's truck's. The oil pressure switch is...
From 1988 FSM

Hmmmm.... I have a 1979 Celica that has an electric fuel pump. The OPS grounds a single wire. On my Celica, and I believe any carbureted car...
I have a 1988 (4th gen). My owners manual says 5000lbs with towing package, 3500lbs without towing package M/T, 2000lbs without towing package...
LOL We aren't that far apart. I'll be 64 this year...
I dunno, dude, you aren't that old. For me, "pops" was using the floor mounted high beam button.... LOL American cars had floor mounted buttons...

Actually, strictly speaking, Calif (and prolly other states but I only know Calif rules) is more restrictive than that (unless they've eased up...
I don't mean to argue with your actual experience but I put an 18RG into my 1979 Celica that had a 20R. It was a simple plug-n-play. Even the...
