p.s i found a speedo adapater that plugs into the ford loom and fits my 75 series box. autobarn.

and also what did you do about the oil filter
I used a Gen toyota filter 90915-YZZD2. Z418 in a Ryco. Was the right thread, sealing face and just short enough no to ful the chassis.

Bit hard to get a pic of the tensioner I made for the belt without pulling bits off. I'll try and get a pic for you soon though.

So more details on the adapter you found....got a pic?

thanks for your reply, I don,t have the part yet ,$ 186 from autobarn.
the reason i am trying to use all the wiring loom is to get rid of all the gauges i have ,couse the ones in my speedo cluster did not work.
My sparky said to get all of the looms to make a simple swap.

the speedo converter is eletronic impolse sender ,more info when i get the part in the next few days.


p.s today i did my shackle reversal to 75 sreies diffs and fitted the motor and gear box again,and took photos.

cheers jimmy

I used one of the pulleys off the auto tensioner from memory. Definately didn'tuse the a/c pulley.

Sorry Jimmy, I was way off(going on memory). Just checked with the spare belt I keep in the back (don't know why I didn't think to check this last time) and its 6PK1930. All depends how far out you made your tensioner but that should get you in the ballpark.
