I dropped my 84 Fj60 off at the garage to have a valve adjustment and to have the Carb rebuilt since I've completed a 95% desmog.

I picked it up today, popped the hood to check out the Carb. What I found to me is a brand new Carb. I called the Mech and he insures me that it has been removed and thouroughly cleaned.

Well let me tell you what. It looks brand new. How can I tell if my orig carb was taken out and some imposter put in?

Under the itemized bill, it states Carb $358.00. That sounds to me that the old was pulled and a new put in.

What do you all think? I will take some pics and post them later today.

Thanks so much.
