Fuel Pumps - F Engine - Kyosan Denki

[Relot76]

I am original owner of an 8/68 (model year 1969) FJ40. Those of you who own late 60"s and early 70's productions know that Toyota made many changes with parts during the production years and did not necessarily tie them to model year changes. I recently rebuilt my original Kyosan Denki fuel pump. Before tearing it apart, I bought a used Kyosan Denki fuel pump from someone who was parting out an "early 70's" FJ40 with an F engine. This fuel pump had two major differences than mine:

1. My 8/68 Kyosan Denki has the replaceable valves. The valves are permanently stamped into the later Kyosan Denki fuel pump.
2. The mounting flange (where the two bolts attach to the engine block) on my 8/68 Kyosan Denki is 7mm thick while the later version is 18mm thick (and requires longer mounting bolts).

I post this information in case anyone is wanting to keep their F engine as close to original as can be achieved today. If anyone is interested in the later version of the Kyosan Denki that I have, just PM me. Photos are attached. I bought my rebuild kit from Cruiser Cult. The replacement parts were high quality and fit perfectly. I can order and install the rebuild kit if you prefer.
