Sorry, Living in the Past, but my microfiche set only covers the period from 03/69 to 07/80 for the FJ40 series and the FJ55 in the US and Canadian markets. I don't have any media on anything earlier, but I do agree with you that a microfiche set for the earlier 40's would be invaluable. Must be extremely frustrating to the earlier FJ40 owners trying to keep these old trucks running and driving in the absence of good documentation of parts and part numbers.

Believe it was around the time I joined mud (2005) eBay had tons of microfiche for cheap. At that time interest was mainly FJ25s and early FJ40, those I had covered.wish now would have bought a bunch. Particularly for 68/69. 66/67 not sure of changes but never owned either of those years.

Rebuilt the carb as a morale booster to get me going on this project.
Turns out I’m missing a choke breaker or opener or something. Anybody got these parts and want to sell them? Not 100% necessary, but I’d like it to be complete.
Here’s a photo from the manual showing all the parts except the small rod that links to the vac pot:
Also notice it’s set up for a throttle rod instead of a cable. I want to go back to the original cable. If anybody has that piece of the carb, as well as the other cable stuff (bell crank, guides?), I’d love to take it off your hands!

If you call the one! they may have it. but you be pulling teeth!! LOL
I probably have some of that stuff laying around, I took mine off not too long ago. I think it's called a "Throttle Positioner" on this year carb (10/'73). I'm not sure if it even worked or exactly what it was supposed to do and it offended me as I like to think of my right foot as the throttle positioner. Plus, I think the fewer the vacuum lines, the better I like it.
I just went out in the rain to check my Carb Parts box, I do have some stuff

Awesome. Could definitely use the bolt that holds the bottom of the carb to the middle - I see one in there, maybe you’d part with it. It’s a hex bolt with a large slot for a flat blade screwdriver.
For the that “throttle positioned” or whatever it’s called, it’s this whole mess of parts pictured below, plus the small linkage rod that hooks to that vac pot. @RodrigzCrzr is also looking for the spring (#2) below:
He gets first dibs on the #2 spring though, he called me looking for one almost a year ago!
Bolt #4 is a round-head screw and I'll send you my spare. Also have two of the #5 arms but they're 2 different sizes. There are supposed to be two linkage rods coming off the diaphragm, I can only find one. I cannot find a spring #2 at all.

This is awesome. Looks like the more gray (less gold) arm is the one - seems to have more relief in the bend. If you’re willing to part with any of that stuff I’ll take it. If not the visual is very helpful.
