Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi All:
My FJ40 has a '78 2F engine swapped-in by the previous owner. He re-used the '74 late-model "F" engine carb on the 2F engine. This carb has worked well i nthe past for me, but appears to need a re-build now (what, only 30 years of use!?!)
I have the option of either having this late-model "F" carb rebuilt, or an extra '78 2F carb re-built. Any opinions of what is the better option to follow?
The late-model "F" carb is a bit smaller than the '78 2F carb, but is also simpler (the '78 2F engine is de-smogged.) The 2F carb I imagine could potentially produce more power, since it is bigger, but I've also heard that the late-model "F" carb will produce better fuel economy.
I'd appreicate anyone's comments and/or suggestions.
Regards,
Alan
