I would hate to see it scrapped. What do you think it would cost to crate it and ship to IA?

I don’t know anything about Stouts. Sorry. I will try to remember to snap a pic.

And for the difference in length, i usually just cut them off. They'll get mangled on rocks if you do anything off the pavement. ;)

After you primed the line by sucking gas through, did you try cranking it over to see if the pump continued to deliver? If it does, reconnect to carb and see if it gets past the float needle, it may just be stuck.

Hi Mark, is it true there are 2 versions depending on year and the integrated bellhousing?

I took this out of my ‘66 before I sold it so I could study it for my 4on the tree Landcruiser project. Well, that project has been and gone, but this fine-shifting transmission is still sitting on one of my pallet racks, taking up space. Any...

I have have a 9/69, unfortunately not with original carb but it does have the second pull knob on the right as your photo shows. I can look tonight and see where it may go. My accelerator pedal does not have any accommodations for attaching a...

According to Mark, the throttle knob/cable did attach to the carb up util 9/69.... Post 52 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/choke-cable-variations.973037/page-3#post-11147095

That would be amazing! Maybe it's not an actual hand throttle like later years, but it's definitely not a choke cable. ISince I started this thread have come up with a couple of examples of other trucks with the same setup, but just can't find a...

Interesting. The cables look connected together, I'd bet that the gas pedal will pull through as in override the hand throttle like all the hand throttles I ever used. I still think it needs a lock or the return spring and vibrations will let...

I think what is trying to be conveyed, is that your 10/69 and newer carbs will not have a provision for the manual throttle cable attachment. I did previously have a correct carb for the 9/69, but have sold it and never installed onto my 40...

Here is a photo with a possible example of hand throttle cable routing for the 3/69-9/69 carb....see the cable going through the slot. That same member, @MDH33 posted elsewhere that both the accelerator cable and hand throttle cable are secured...

This is starting to make some sense. I'd assumed my carb was original because it's an April 1970 date. It was likely a replacement though. I have the remnants of that dual clamp bracket that was rigged up on my 1970 carb to hold the incorrect...

It’s not impossible to connect a hand throttle to a newer carburetor; I have done it. You need a bracket on the primary butterfly shaft for the cable to pass through (and an adjustable barrel stop to sit behind it) and a cable anchor that holds...

On my ‘69, both the choke and the throttle cables come through the center of the firewall along with the coolant temp lead.

OK, here we go, hope this helps. Loosely assembled on my workbench. Throttle cable is black, hand throttle right next to it is gray coil cable, and I put an empty gold coil cable into the choke location.

Yeah, that's my pic above. The 3/69-9/69 carb does have the long hand throttle cable going directly to the carb. I'll get a pic of the carb on the bench so you can see the linkage more clearly. Here's a pic from my 69 manual. Here's my dash...

We've been working away on getting parts off our shelf, photographed, and on the CruiserTeq.com website. We have hundreds (really thousands) of in-stock parts yet to process, but progress is progress. Most of these have been available to our...

A number of items on your 40 would manufactured no later than 9/71. That chrome cover on the valve cover which I assume is to fill oil and the lack of one on the passenger side of the block does no make sense for a 71 FJ40. The oil fill on the...

Death by a thousand cuts (of small rust repair) is more palatable? Also, many aren't aware of the size of the eventual worm can when they chip away at that first cracked bondo spot with plans to "fix it"....

Clear coating, or just putting paint over rust is not really "body work" as you aren't really doing anything to fix it. Either fix it for structural or aesthetic reasons (cut out all rust, weld in new and properly refinish) Or Thread...

Paint over rust is never good IMHO.
