This is the first in a series of threads regarding how to identify production date of various Cruiser components.
Toyota (Aisan) carburetors from ~1963-present have a date code stamped on them.
It is stamped in small letters on the top front of the carb.
The format is Y M DD. Y is the last digit of the year (4=1964,1974,1984...), M is a letter of the alphabet corresponding sequentially to the month (A=jan, B=feb,...), and DD is the numeric day of the month.
Aisan throttle bodies on EFI vehicles have the same date code.
OEM fuel pumps also use the same date code.
Carbs prior to approx. 1963 have a funky letter code that I have not yet been able to make sense of. Anybody?
Pics to follow.
