What necessitated the linkage to cable & carb bellcrank conversion?
The truck and engine and carb are all 75-78, so the stock throttle linkage should fit?

Body lift to accomidate the Twin Stick for the Orion and the shifter for the Rock Box.

That would tend to move the linkage bits all askew

Once this passes SMOG I will be starting on my "Black Label" 1977 FJ40. Wish me luck.

Now where did I put FJ40Jim's secret cell #.
LOL!

I have driven it a bit now and put some fresh fuel in the rig.

It starts and runs fine. There is a slight dead spot in the transition of the secondaries opening.

Idle is around 600rpm.

As it warms up the idle comes up. When it gets to operating temperature it idles around 1,200 RPM and slowly climbs higher.

If you let it cool down, like overnight, it will start and idle at 600rpm again.

Where does the BB go?

Adjust the idle speed to your preference. typically in th 500-700rpm range.

In the Daisy Red Ryder BB gun.

At the pointer, or a little below it.

Engine Hot or cold?

Cold it idles great. After driving about 10 miles it will not come back down to proper idle.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the VSV? Or am I looking too far, too deep to quick?

Idles speed & mix settings are made at operating temp.

Nice thread...

I have some questions, and possible hijack...

I have a '77 CA spec FJ55, needs to be kept smog legal, and a '76 federal carb I'd like to put in. Is that easily do-able? I'll double check the actual MFG dates on the carbs...

Well, I just checked the date codes and the one that is supposed to be the "CA stock '77" is "6 - I - 23" (9/23/1977?) and the "76" is "7 - E - 4" (5/4/1977?). This might explain why the "older" one gives me a better "seat of the pants" improvement in performance...

Which one should I run, and how can I route the vacuum lines for best performance (and emissions compliance when I need to)?

The truck is a July 1977...

FJ40Jim · 07-02-08, 09:30 PM

6 I 23= 1976 Sept 23. A 1977 model year carb.

7 E 4= a 1977 carb also.

Might be possible to swap them, if they are both drilled for CA emissions vac connections.

[sorry for the hijack...]

But is one "better" than another? And which one might be best for performance modifications?

One has the power valve port and the TP port (#14), one doesn't. I forget which jets and such they have...
