Even my wife said Holy Crap when she saw that!
Those are worth a mint or they are with scrap. How did they get them to seal r I guess I should say did they stay together?

Thanks for posting that up. I hope my SMOG guys does not see a picture of that.
I thought I had seen all the exhaust manifold toyota had made for the 2f.
Today I was proven wrong. I would love to see what is inside it.

If I were to go to hell. That is what I would expect to see.
Those thermal reactor manifolds are unobtainium according to several sources (Toyota, S.O.R. ..), and you should be granted a "soft" exemption from installing one. The fella who recently smogged my 40 didn't say squat about my missing reactor, but then again, I think this is the first time the guy had seen a carburator. Go figure...

My original thermo reactor manifold had a big crack in it , so I had to find a replacement. Found one at TLC in Van Nuys. Cost an arm and a leg. I tried to take the cracked one apart but it is sealed and wouldn't cooperate.

I bent some beeeyouteeful fuel lines from 3/8 metal line. They screw into the carb as well as the fuel pump.
I got the rig running by borrowing the link from the gas pedal to the carb linkage from another rig. I drove it around and everything runs great. The fan does not come on, but I'll check into that.
I received the air filter assy I bought from another mud member yesterady in the mail. The flippin air filter housing hits the fuel line.
Time to buy and bend a new fuel line.
Has anybody successfully flaired 3/8 fuel line?

The Anti-Tech
I was quoted prices up to $600+ for one... I got one on Ebay (from TLC!) for about $150. I was the only bidder, too. Go figure.
The one I took off only has a couple of cracks in it...

New exhaust is installed and I picked it up and I drove it to the smog shop. There are a few wiring gremlins that he can figure out.
I bought the correct 1977 dual nipple California distributor from a vendor here on MUD but forgot to install it.
The thing runs great.
