136 is too big for that carb, it will cruise at 12AFR dropping to 10AFR when the PV opens.

If it has a 28mm primary, then it's CA spec, AFAIK. 124 is about right, maybe drill to 1.25mm if the engine wants it.

Yes, these are in stock for $1095 + S&H. Please ping me at my mud ID at gmail.com and a PP invoice will be sent. Thanks!

Yes. and It's in the 1967 Toyota Parts book.

FWIW, the change date on the WP location is from engine # F-243298. Missed it by <that> much. Edit: For the OP, this is a lot of work & hassle to run a mismatched engine. Bummer of a situation. For the amount of effort, it would make more sense to toss in a late 2F, with 68-74 intake & exhaust...

Beautiful, right down to the switch cover. Props for using genuine Toyota screwdriver on the lash adjuster screw! BTW, The lash adjuster locknut is loose in this pic.

Yes, the motor is always hot with ignition on. The switch grounds one wire for low speed motor winding, a different wire for high speed winding. Color codes vary a bit through the years. Yes, the motor case has to be grounded for the park switch to ground the motor winding until it reaches the...

Yes, the main jet supplies both the main circuit and the idle circuit. If the idle jet is restricted, then there's no idle, but will kinda run at 50% throttle. If the main jet is restricted, then it won't run at higher throttle but may idle weakly if there is enough fuel leaking through the main...

Is there a Denso cluster for USA FJ40? I've never seen one. The yazaki numbers all interchange. Operating parameters are the same. FWIW, They are bimetallic, not variable resistors. The presence of the grounding tab has no effect on the sender itself. The ground tab is not used in Cruiser...

Yes, 5W40 is the synth equivalent to 15W40 diesmal oil. They are all fine for these old tractor engines, as long as there is enough metal in the oil, usually from a ZDDP or MOS2 additive. The 15W40 has been going up in price, and the 5W40 M1 TDT or Rotella T6 has been on sale, so the synth is...

Delta can rebuild any cam. It will cost extra to have severely worn lobes or bearings welded back up, but if it's an obscure vintage car that's what is done.

The pushrods rotate because they are sitting on the rotating lifter.

Definitely not Toyota. Cheap Stone gasket by the look of it.

There is no crown on F series lifters & no taper on the cam lobe. Rotation is induced by the lobe centerline offset from lifter centerline. Tapered cam lobe & crowned lifter is a post-war technology.

CWC makes most of the aftermarket cam blanks. They grind some, others go to companies like isky or Comp for their proprietary grind.
