I've got a 1980 FJ and need to go through the carb. Here's a pic of the carb that I'm trying to identify. ANyone recognize the model?

TIA,
Mike

It looks like a Rochester 2GC or 2GV 2-Jet to me. Does it have a manual choke, or a divorced thermostated choke? There should be a serial number on it somewhere you can use to track down the right rebuild kit. Check on the side, on or around the float bowl. If there's a serial number on the side - it's a post 1968 model (68-72ish). If there's no serial number on the side - i believe there's a metal tag hanging off the top somewhere with the serial number - but I don't think it's the number in your picture. If there's a SN tag - it's a pre-68

Make sure when you buy a kit you get one with ethanol compatible parts.

I'm seeing a tag with this number: 3P 12835? Manual choke.

Couple more dirty pictures for the thread...didn't get any pics from the back and the jeep in in CO and i'm in TX...dangit!

No idea - guessing a pre-68 2GC but I really don't know a ton about 2-jets. I don't think the data tag with 12835 is the serial number, there should be a longer number either on a triangular tag hanging off the carb or stamped into the side of the fuel bowl somewhere. I don't see anything on the fuel bowl, but I don't see a serial number tag either...

Oddly enough I just ordered a kit for a similar carb last week. Go to Rockauto and look up the carb under a 1956 GMC with the 316 V8. It was $16.00 and some change plus shipping. Don’t forget to use the Rockauto discount code for Mud members list in the General section.
