There were three different carbs depending on frame number . What is your frame number ?

Take your frame number to SOR website and find out the date of manufacture. I have a 12/68 which is titled as a 69. It has a 1 year only 2 barrel carb and breather, the carb has a stud that bolts up through the breather. If you have a picture of your engine there are many on this forum who can help you. By the way, welcome to the madness. this is the salute.

I am also in Saint Augustine if you ever want to meet up for cruiser talk and coffee.

If you truly only have 3700 miles on the vehicle, you don't need a new carb. Send it to Mark @65swb45 and get it done right.

Besides, NOS doesn't mean it just bolts on and is perfect.

Here is one of my rebuilt, period-correct early 69 1bbls with the correct fuel cut solenoid feature for that model.

Do you have any 3-69 to 9-69 carbs ?

Probably a dozen. You are welcome to call the shop to discuss.

12/68 would have had a one barrel carburetor. The two barrel was the last half of the 69 model year, 3/69-9/69. First part of the model was only a single barrel carburetor.

My 3/69 - 9/69 carb is sitting on my work bench. Marks Off Road sold me a rebuilt one from a later model year. Then Mark came and installed it. I like my current setup.

This is incorrect. For years we assumed that because the parts fiche listed the 2bbl application as 3/69-9/69, that it actually entered production in 3/69. This is an artifact of the parts fiche being initially released in 3/69. Empirically, it has been found that the 2bbl enters production in early '68 for USA trucks, which makes sense because they had to be emissions certified for MY68. The exact change date can only be cleared up by finding the change date in a 1968 paper parts book.

The OP needs to post a pic of what's underhood currently. The outside of the truck looks like 1969 2-bbl, but OP states Aisan 1bbl, so it could be a poverty-spec central America import, which have 1bbl well into the early 70's.

I have an 8/68 build American spec and it has a one barrel exactly like the one 65swb45 posted. I'm 99% sure it's the original carb.

Interesting that our empirical experience should be so different on this Jim. I have pulled 1 bbl carbs off of a 1/69 and even a 2/69, but I have never pulled a factory installed 2bbl off a 68.

I know they were listed as OPT (hence the intake manifold configuration) but I never actually pulled one off or had one sent to me as a ‘68 spec.

I have had exactly the same frustrating experience with the microfiche you described in other situations. So has SOR. I remember Marv selling me 10mm driveshaft bolts back in 1986 for my 10/68 FJ40. He was going off the parts references Kay had brought over from Manafre, who apparently had it wrong too. Aah the good old days.

Agree with this. It'd be good to see some pics.

My 12/68 also had the emissions control module previously mentioned for certification MY68 US trucks. Frame number 64770
Definite US market, definitely a 2 barrel carb and manifold, titled as a 1969
