@Mark Jennings mine has the air injector rail (plugged) but no air pump. I don't know if it was there and removed, or if it was never there.This is correct, 68’s were a first in many respects, 1st year padded dash and knee pad, seat belts….front bib reflectors. One of the things I haven’t been able to track down is when they started to install emission air pumps. Most of the early 68’s, no air pump, but in the parts manual, and as early as 68, air pump and manifold.
My early 68 had the 2 groove press on harmonic balancer and the port in the air cleaner for the air pump…. But no air pump.
Anyone have an answer here? Was it just a California thing, or was it just Toyota getting ready for the future emission changes.
The 1981 title I have from it (Wyoming) indicates that the previous title was Oregon and lists a factory cost of $3050! Maybe that means it was purchased new in Oregon, maybe it means it has had more owners than I thought it did and Oregon was simply the one immediately prior to Wyoming.
Either way, I plan to remove the air injection rail and plug the holes. Without the pump it's less than useless, right?
