It mounts right up under the manifold which explains how it got so nasty.

The carb cooling fan thermo sensor simply grounds out when it gets to a certain temp. That ground goes to the carb fan control switch/box and then supplies power & ground to the fan.
With it being cool today, I couldn't get the engine compartment hot enough to trigger it but a couple of minutes with the heat gun then a cycle of the ignition to ON then OFF allowed the thermo switch to close to ground and power the fan. It ran for about 3 minutes before the fan shut off.
Edit - I took it out for a drive again, to see if my labor was in vain and when I turned the key off, the fan ran for 5 and a half minutes.
The side of the 17mm thermo switch has the following stampings; TEQ, ND, S2 & 110.
I am assuming the 110 is a reference to the temperature that it triggers at, 110C=230F. The ground wire that connects to the wire harness has two 7mm nuts that sandwich the wire terminal on threaded shaft.

Easy compared to the ignition gremlin, am I right Sam?

Absolutely!Easy compared to the ignition gremlin, am I right Sam?
For future reference, if you pull the wire to the thermister and ground it to a bolt in the engine bay, the fan will come on for exactly thirty minutes after you turn the ignition key off. I did this on my 60 because the thermister was bad. Runs for 30 minutes and then cycles off. The draw is not enough to pull down your battery at all. I did wire in a simple toggle switch so that I can control whether the fan comes on or not. There are times when I may just start the truck and move it a few feet and then turn it off. That's when I just turn off the fan with the switch.

Awesome! That's great to know. I guess that is a function of the switch box controller. I'm just glad to get it all working.
Everything now works as designed, except for the AC.
Now on to the that.

I replaced the belts today. I also replaced my homemade Corolla ignitor to Landcruiser distributor pickup adapter with a purpose built one from @ToyotaMatt

Installed an @Coolerman fusible link and drove it a bit.

I cleaned up the factory AM radio. I found about a pound of dirt in there and a piece of broken windshield glass. I was worried that it was a piece of the radio. Thankfully not.
The bezel had cracked in three pieces but it is now one again. I straightened up the push button shafts and fixed a button that was stuck out & painted the needle.

Re-installed & all lit up.
A huge improvement from before.

Just the one speaker in the original location. It must have been unhooked right after purchase as it looks and sounds new. Interestingly though the radio has a 2nd speaker positive post that the wire harness doesn't have a wire to match it. These radios were probably able to go in some cars/trucks that came with two speakers.

Yeah they do, that pic was after I dumped out a ton of crap and went to town on it paleontologist style with a paint brush.
Here's how she all cleaned up.
