1977 CA underhood cooling fan?

[alkarich]

Found this is my owner's manual, anyone ever seen one?

Quite a different location than the carb cooling fan. Up in front by the radiator on the driver's side.

Yes.

At one time I had two of those fans...

Have you ever seen the thermal reactor?

Hey Steve,

How many years had these in Cali? Was it relatively short lived?

yup, poser is right on the money one more time.......

seen a few of those fans but they're still had to come by if you need one.

the "nuclear reactor", now that's some of toyotas' finest engineering ever. LOL

So what does the thermal reactor look like? Tried looking at the diagrams on SOR without success.

Was able to search it on their site and it pulled up the diagrams for the exhaust manifold. Including CA specific, but wasn't able to isolate/locate it.

It's times like these that I really miss that barf emoticon!

Still have a couple of those fans on the shelf.

No don't need one. Just have never seen that before. Seemed like a strange hoop that had to be jumped through for the smog police.

Once again thanks for the info.

 

[mrline]

I've seen that before...

The fan....from a thread D'Animal Dan had cooking out here last year:

and the reactor exhaust manifold

Thanks for the pics Steve, now I see what everyone was laughing about.

gotta be the heaviest gasser manifold ever on a sport utility vehicle.........


io bet you'd get $22 for it at the scrap metal places.
