2F carb pics (3 Viewers)

[acy76]

Anyone have (or have links to) some nice shots of the carb, manifold and linkage area from a factory 2F FJ55? Trying to bring my engine (1978) back to stock-ish state from a pile of parts. Search turned up a few shots but mostly incidental, zoom-in sorta deals from various ads.
Thanks for any help, all.

Not stock, but have some

The linkage setup should be the same as what's on a 40 from the firewall to the carb. My pig has FI on it now but let me see if I have any from when I first got it. It's a 78 as well. Shoot me some pix of your parts pile and I can walk you through it

Best I have, sorry.

Here’s the carb that shipped with the truck.

This is an FJ55 chassis (with 2F) photo I found on the forum. It looks like this is the same carb mounted on a 2F insulator plate. Here is the thread: SOLD - FJ55 rolling chassis, Disc front, 2f drivetrain - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj55-rolling-chassis-disc-front-2f-drivetrain.1164754/

The large hose (capped off on my carb) is PCV I assume?

Do these help?

My first 40: Building up Barney the purple '77

Hey there MUD, I've been a longtime lurker and infrequent poster. I grew up wrenching on Chevys in Pennsylvania, fixing whatever I broke. I moved to Austin 2 1/2 years ago and bought a 1986 FJ60 2 years ago after a lot of thought, figuring that a 60 series would be the perfect adventure rig...

So: Is it looking like the carb I got is correct for a 2F of this (1978) vintage, based on these photos?

What is giving me pause is the center plastic section with the giant tube on it. This is definitely different from my 1979 and 1970 FJ40 carbs.

If I stick a heat shield under this carb is that going to get me back to stock? I also have what should be the complete throttle linkage from a '76 FJ55 packed away, I want to make sure everything lines up in terms of overall carb/linkage vertical position.

it's freezing here and my '79 FJ40 is in winter storage at another garage (or I would be able to compare to that setup, at least).

AFAIK the carbs and emissions varied year by year in the late-70s.
I would like here for a visual guide by year:

Probably pretty close. There's a date stamp on the airhorn ypu can decipher for the year, month and day of its manufacture. It's a vacuum actuated secondary (which i never liked) that started with the 2F engine.
That big hose in the plasticky spacer, i just cut mine off and filled the hole with jb weld (about 20 years ago)...i forget where that hose went. My PCV hose goes to the bottom most plasticy spacer.
Here's pics of a '74. Slightly modified

Good stuff, guys. Thanks!

If these do and someone wants a clearer shot, this truck is sitting in my warehouse. (No I didn’t buy it.)
