Update! I have replaced the brake master and slave with NOS units and now have a clutch and brakes. I have also rebuilt the carb and glass fuel bowl and the truck is driving off a gas can. Have videos I can share for those interested. New...

I bought a shipment of carburetors directly from Aisan in 1992. Most of them were sold off long ago. This is one of the last ones from that shipment. This non-solenoid version of the D40 was originally used on the 1967 model year FJ40s and 45s...

I have had these parts for 10 plus years. Time to make some room. This is a Toyota nos locking gas cap. Mint condition new old stock oem part. $350.00

Interestingly enough, I ordered another rebuild kit for another D-40 carburetor and that kit came with a 270 main jet opposed to my other D-40 that was running a 230 so I am going to try that. I have included pictures of the factory insulator...

Looks pretty nice!

Bump. Still trying to learn if anyone knows the correct jet sizing.

you most likely have Taiichi Ohno to blame (the father of the toyotas production system and lean manufacturing... as well as other systems)... he hated waste ... muda... one of the core focuses of toyota production system was eliminating...

I agree it’s funky. Here are a couple more pictures of the actual plate.

Another photo from the service manual. 2 barrel intake with what looks like a single barrel adaptor plate.

Yes

I didn’t think you were calling me out. I just assumed it was a weird factory thing for split year the way it was. Early trucks I have owned had intakes like this with the SD-40.

It’s interesting because I have seen this set up before. It appears to be factory and it’s utilizing all factory hardware and the PVC tube and vacuum line tube that comes out of the phenolic spacer is in the same style as Toyota would have...

That is the factory configuration. Early couple months of 69’ used the single barrel with this intake configuration. Then they went to the short funky 2 barrel and then in the end the went with the taller nor traditional 2 barrel to my...

Another picture. I have tried adjusting the rod height also with minimal difference.

Hi All- I am wrestling with an early 1968 D-40 carburetor and have a question for the early single barrel carb folks out there. The carb I have installed on my 1/69 FJ40 is an early 68' carb that uses the step rod and large diameter main jet...

Would you be willing to separate the air cleaner, intake tube, and air horn?

Couple more photos

UPDATE! See most recent post. Now running and driving. Very good project 1964 Toyota Landcruiser Factory Soft Top FJ40. It has the original numbers matching motor and the vehicle is complete. I was saving this for a future project but I need to...
