Diesel Conversion But Need to Desmog 2F First

[MUDSUX]

Hey everyone,

I have a '78 FJ40 with 2F engine that I am pulling out of storage to restore. Long term goal is to do a diesel conversion but first I need to get a new carb for the 2F. It has been sitting in storage for close to 10 years and everything is gummed up and not working correctly. I have read about JimC and Mark rebuilds but I will just get a Trollhole carb for now just so I can move it around the shop. My question is: can I just install Trollhole's non-smog carb on my fully smogged system without taking off the smog equipment? Do I need to plug up some ports, lines, etc? Thanks in advance!

I installed a trollhole carb on my 1979 FJ40, it is still equipped with smog it had from factory. I just plugged up the ports that were not used. I am going to send the factory carb off for rebuild as well, in the mean time the TH carb has done a great job.

Yea. It will work. Just plug all vacuum lines that aren't used (and there will be a lot) so you don't cause vacuum leaks.

Thanks guys. Just placed an order with Trollhole. Now to read up on desmogging my 2F.
