1968 fj40 resto

waiting for the two carbs I got
one from 67 and one from 68 finaly I know how to conect throttle and accelerator
wires linkage!!

That large window carburator is from a pre 66. There are two versions of the smaller window carburators. Not sure but I believe the smaller of the two would be 68 until 3/69 here in the US. Seems there is a two barrel version of the large window caburator that was never imported to the US by Toyota.

yes you have rigth
large window is older and small is the 68 one
seems like large window has less parts to deal with, but what about the performance?? betwen pre 66 , 68 and 71?

Hi Guys

The same material was used between the tub and fuel tank. Works great if your in a dry climit. Even if it gets wet it dry out and not cause rust.

my 69 had 3 or 4 square-ish chucks supporting the tank. If I remember right they were spaced around the outer edge wrapping up the sides just a bit?

 

[JADCRUISER]

Is this one?? time ago I bougth one on specter , but its just a hard rubber square 2" x 2"
is that the size of the felt ones???

 

[Living in the Past]

Mine are not rubber or square. They are strips and felt. I haven't had my tank out in years but I do remember the they were more on the angle part of the depression in the tub floor for the tank and a little on the bottom.
