Greetings old toyota enthusiasts. Attached are pics of an interesting carburetor I've never seen before. It is an Aisan DD40/40. Double barrel Downdraft, twin 40MM throttles (bigger than the biggest 2F carbs) Build date is 5H1= 1965 Aug 1.
It appears to be designed to be backward compatible w/ the 1964 SD40 beside it. The height, fuel line entry, hand throttle, choke cable, throttle pushrod all have same attachment points.
The 70-72 DD38/38 carb is completely different in those respect. But the 65 and 70 carbs are the same height, neck diameter, mounting base are also the same. The 40/40 could be used in an installation that still used the early gas pedal w/ bellcrank on the side of the block, but with the 1967-later 12-port cyl head and 2-bbl manifold.
So, is this a FJ carb, or only used on FA? If it is an FA carb, how did it wind up in an antique junk store in Arkansas?
