A '76 has a different style, in the front driver's corner by the radiator. I've got a fan there, but it doesn't yet work. This is an fj55 fan, which mounts from the radiator support, but the fj40 fan is about the same. My mount is a quick hack, but it works..

My '76 Federal truck does not have a fan. My '76 California truck does/did have the fan in the front DS corner.
Just wonder how long your carb fan stay on after engine has turn off?
My carb fan stay on for about 20 min. Is this fan control by relay timer or by the manifold heat sensor?

15-20 minutes. People frequently tell me that my truck is still running.
Both, as far as I can tell. The manifold heat sensor tells it to run in the first place, and once it is on the timer takes over.

That is sweet!
But if it's not that hot it will turn off early, so the sensor input is still relevant once it is running.

OK, I don't doubt it - just that mine never does that I've noticed, even in "winter". Texas heat I guess.
Maybe different years work differently. SOR shows two types between '76 and 1/'79 with fed and CA versions of each. They have used ones for 1/'76-9/'77 in stock for $100. Not a bad price if you really wanted one.

On the fan body.
Found my yellow sticker on the fan body and it said will automatically turn off with in 30 min. instead of 20 min. (it kinda fade out but, readable).
Here's mine.
Your Notice looks just like the one on mine.
What year is your Fj?
Thanks,

Look at his signature.
In all fairness our signatures don't show on most mobile devices so fair question. My is a 1978 but that is a reproduction sticker so may not be true to year.
I went through the entire process from locating a fan to getting a new control box and thermal relay. Works perfectly now and is controlled by temp not to exceed 30 min.
