Hello everyone,
I've owned my FJ60 for a couple of months now and have been getting my hands pretty dirty adding and replacing a myriad of components. I took my rig to a local Landcruiser shop near me for a vehicle inspection to get the lay low on what is, and isn't, working properly. One of the things he mentioned was a possible incomplete desmog regarding the carb and the distributor. I'm not super familiar with messing with smog equipment, especially with FJ60s, and thought I'd inquire here.
The vehicle started it's life in Oregon, then made it's way to North Carolina for most of its life, then to Idaho, then back to Oregon. The PO said the car was already desmoged, but am unsure to what extent. My first question would be, did all FJ60s coming to the states get the same smog equipment or did it vary state by state? Also, from the photos I've attached below, does the motor look like it's desmogged already?
The other questions I have invovle the carb and distributor. I have a 2F desmog kit from Manafre, but am unsure if using that fully desmogs the carb and/or the distributor. Also, if my motor is actually already desmoged, should I return the Manafre kit? Any thoughts, questions, and comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
