The FJ25 did have vacuum wipers or at least most of them. A few had a early version of the TNK wipers with only two termials which meant you had to turn them off when they at the top of wiper. Didn't have extra + lead that would keep it running until it hit the top.
toy25ht,,,,,,,,,,,,,that is one cool FJ25. Been in your family for 34 years? Man, that is sensational.

Hi Guys
I am going to try to post pictures of carbs, Jim they dont look just like the one you posted. I bought off a vender here on mudd that also sells on ebay , no names he told me these were off a early 25 or 40, think i did ok. I like they are different.

IIRC, The guy that listed those on ebay is a documented pathological liar.
Those are not Land Cruiser carbs of any sort. They are off old Stout/Corona/Crown.
If a dual carb manifold could be cobbled up to mount two of them, it would be sufficient for a Cruiser, plus it would be a 4-barrel carb package, FTW.

Even with the missing blue plate you can still not see the float. That's a give away that they were not off a Land Cruiser. Many be some day I find correct two barrel to with my early header to create a real power house.
Until then I just have to get by with one barrel.
The Rodchester one barrel is a direct switch and allows you to keep the stock while setup while finding and rebuilding a stock carb. I have had a few cruisers come with them. My 68 came with a Carter one barrel carb. Can't say for sure if the height is right. The PO was using just the top piece of the air with along with a piece of metal he sandwiched a small filter between them. The whole thing hung off the neck of the carb. Every time I went off road the damn thing would come loose.
That was soon replaced by a Holley 500 which is what Downey was recommending forty years ago. Then the Holley 350, a later two barrel, a early large glass one barrel and finally the correct small glass one barrel. That large glass one barrel replaced a Rodchester one barrel on my white 25. In another 100 years I should have all the correct parts for all my cruisers.
