I believe we have one from an ‘82 asked the old man to snap a picture. It’s in Iowa

Please share what you learned with the differences.

@Living in the Past, when I get these home I may be asking you some questions because I don't know diddly about these. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge.

Cowl vent linkage sold

Have one in Davenport but its nowhere near that nice

Bump. Few photos of whats still there. Axles and engine available for local pickup.

I’m in Virginia Beach. I’d hop in line.

FYI Just reached out to the seller - all units are sold.

Mark was selling clamps a few months ago

The OP is correct that the cooling fan does not come on (even when you first shut off the engine) unless the sensor has reached about 160 degrees F. It is a simple snap switch that snaps to open (off) after the temp at the sensor drops below...

Found in this thread. Post in thread 'The infamous carb cooling fan' The infamous carb cooling fan - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-infamous-carb-cooling-fan.888003/post-14533992

Looks like Proffitt’s started 3d printing. Was about to pull the trigger but it’s $50 shipping

- i kustom make the thermo sensor sub-harnesses to order .... - there are more then a few connector and plug varations i have run into - the 60 distance is longer to the fender chassis harness , due to the wider engine bay - i would...

I have a 82 steering column… now I’d just need the $$ for the steering box. Lol

Thanks. That looks to confirm what I got here with the rectangle plug and blue wire. What was the reason for removing, efi?

This is everything that came out of my 79 for the carb fan. That single wire connector in the middle of the pic is the one that is used for the temp sensor.

I’m wanting to identify what plug on the harness side of my 1980 would connect to the pigtail that connects to the sensor. Care to provide a picture?

Picture of the plug that came off the 82 temp switch.

It’s one of those things that’s ate at me for awhile but isn’t urgent, at least in my case. My original sensor was removed during desmog

hoping to figure out what plug on the harness goes to the temperature switch to actuate the carb fan. I had hoped my Feb80 FJ40 matched a 82 I got but the plug from the 82 doesn’t match my 80 harness. I’ve researched off and on and seen a lot...

No doors

Is that the collapsable steering column? My understanding was even the collapsable column that later models had still needed shortening.

So, I can't speak to a 79 specifically, but I did not have to shorten my 1982 manual steering column to install a factory fj40 steering box. Video evidence here:

Haven’t visited this in awhile. Flew home for a conservation snow goose hunt and grabbed a couple pictures. Snow was melted so dad has easy access again.
