carb for a '64

[Land Schmoozer]

Just bought a very nice '64 FJ40... but it has a weber carb on it... what other options do i have? is the stock single barrel better... one came with it... or what about an asian from a '74?

thanks!

I like the Aisin 1 barel, I have one on 2 of my 45's.

you will need stock the air cleaner and stuff.

6 posts in two years! Not bad!

Kidding aside, does your 64 have the PCV setup? Does the oil filler tube have an extension coming out the side of it with a plug in it or a valve and hose attached? I just went thru this with tornadoalley on PBB.

i've been busy on the LCML and 55 board... but six posts is very sad...

i'll look at again tomorrow, but i beleive it's got the long filler tube with the PCV attached to it...

first thing that's going is the steel valve cover... just happen to have a nice 2F one ready!

thanks...
casey, the posting whore!

If you have the original F135 motor in it, the 2F valve cover will not work! It's too short for the valvetrain.

Mark,

ok the oil filler has a PCV valve and hose attached...

tell me where the PBB thread is and i'll go look at that... i'm not seeing it...

then once i get all the old parts from the PO... i'll figure out what's needed and call you...

thanks!

and yes the 2f cover does not fit... i more familiar with '70 vintage 40's... didn't realize the f engine came in different versions... more to learn!

Casey, sorry for any confusion.

TornadoAlley was in the shop a couple of weeks ago when I went over this with him. I just referenced him to PBB because I don't think he hangs out here.

He was missing the 1bbl carb insulator with the PCV tube, just like IDAVE. I have made some billet replacement insulators to help out with this problem. Doesn't sound like your problem tho.

Obviously, I will still be happy to assist you.

Maybe Landpimp can help here and post an exploded diagram of the mechanical linkage you need to be looking for. I think IDAVE is curious too.

Landpimp,

how are things in Gig Harbor, great place... and the herd of LC's are being well fed?

anyway... possible you might have a picture of the 1bbl, air cleaner, and linkage in your archives somewhere... would like to see what parts i might be missing...

thanks!
