FJ45 Non USA Air Cleaner

[bull]

I was tackling my broken manifold stud debacle and came across this fun item.

The FJ45 has a Non USA air cleaner on it. I want to say it has a FJ55 ambulance air cleaner, but haven't verified it. Here are some pics of the stock filter I found in it as well. Think I can get it from the dealer

the filter looks just like the one on my 45, I just got a WIX at the local parts store.

Do you have a pic of your filter housing?

Here is mine. I haven't found anything that is close. The stock toyota air filter has and 8H on it.

Those look a bit different than my 66. Mine's an oil bath like most of the early 40's I've seen. I have no idea if it's original, but most everything on my truck is.

Very nice RB.. I will post up a few pics of the 67 FJ40 (stock) and the 65LPB when I get home.

Bull, I have a couple of those air cleaner assemblies at the shop. I refer to them as firetruck aircleaners, because they came off of fire engine motors I bought some years back.

The filters are about 9/16ths of an inch shorter than the standard F engine filter elements. If you put a standard element in the housing, the wingnut will not reach the center stud. Not sure, but I think SOR is the only place that you can get a filter element for that housing.

See ya next week!

Couldn't you just tap the stud down a bit more?

Erik, the stud is too short. There's nothing to tap. You of all people should understand all about short studs.

And if you lengthen the stud and install a taller element, then the other end of the air cleaner will not dress properly over the carb.

Dangit.. Foiled again by the Zen Master..
Was just asking cause at one time I was adapting a BJ60 top cover on my FJ62 air cleaner and had to tap the stud down to fit..
