Does this look like the right carb fan for a 1977 FJ40? I sense it is not.

I figured it would look like the one on my FJ60. I guess my coversation with SOR will be interesting tomorrow. Thanks
That fan is the same as mine on a 4/75.....
For a '77, though, the correct one is shown in post #3

YES that IS the correct carb fan for a Calif emissions 77. It mounts in the drivers side front corner of the engine bay. May be the only year that used that fan.

75-77 cali-spec emissions cooling fan.
just how important is it to have one of those under hood fans operating for the 2f motor to survive/function well in a place like cenCal.?
I stand corrected...
So do I.....I really don't remember that fan on the '77 I used to have.....
I drove mine around for some years before I got the carb fan working. While it seems like a very good idea, you'll live without it.
The smaller one from post 3 is stock for a '78 Cali-spec '40.
I installed the smaller fan on my '76 and it has helped to prevent the fuel in the carb from evaporating when the engine is hot. I would install it, if you are located in a warm/hot climate and you have the associated computer and sensor. If you don't have the existing computer/sensor, you can install an adjustable thermostat and it will work fine.

I can get a pic tonight, but it mounts to the top of the driver's side fender (where the washer fluid bottle is located on my ' 75). I have a cal-spec '78 that has it.....
the 1978 one needs a bracket that was welded to the cowl so that it sucks cool air from outside (through the fins) - it bolts somewhere else too though honestly i could not figure it out so i only have mine bolted to the bracket.. pictures would be great!
I think it depends on what rig the 2F is in...and what other equipment is on the 2F.
Does that cooling fan even exist in the non-US market?
I think that fan was a band-aid type response by Toyota for the hot start problem they were having on the smog-controlled, air-conditioned late 70's bastardization of the original idea. I say that a bare-bones 2F, more like what Toyoda-San envisioned, has absolutely no need for an electrically powered under-hood fan to blow in the general direction of the carburetor.
Many 2F motors survive AND function in the wilds of cenCal without an underhood fan.
Here's a pic stolen from MUD or ebay?? Not mine!
I have one mounted with my power steering cooler zip tied to it. I just need to wire it up.

Anyone notice the motor part of both style fans looks the same.
Maybe these pictures will help . . .
