Hello, I bought my first FJ40 at the age of 15 years old. It was a 71' with a factory soft top, it did not run the best. But after rebuilding the carb several times and painting it rattle can primer gray I was ready for the road when I turned 16. I had more fun in that rig than any 16 year old should in those days I groomed many of lawns.......But I have always had one and for the past 20 years I have some rare low mile late model 40's and then I had a wild hair and was in the right place at the right time when I found a Red 79 CCOT FJ40 and I bought it! I thought I had the one!

I could not get it to pass DEQ emissions here in Portland. So I brought it to work and have my master tech look at it ad he came to me a few hours later and told me that carb and emissions were incorrect. Sure enough the carb was an early version. The EGR and VSV's were all incorrect, I was stumped after doing research and reading how they selected thier 40's for restorations. I cost me a few bucks and alot of research to get it done. Mud was not online when this occured and but what a resource it is today! You can still but the 1980 model carb from Toyota and that is what I have on my 79 and should work on yours......Should.......I have a several complete air cleaner housings that have been media blasted and powder coated and all new parts installed. You are welcome to one if we can find out what version you need. i do know there is over 5 possible choices.

Here is a link to the CCOT I was talking about.


There are many folders to the left and should have pics you need.

Best,
