SD40 Big window Carb (1 Viewer)

[PaxtonRestos]

Hi All! Waiting for the exhaust to come back from Jet hot coating to be able to test drive. But I did do some testing on the SD40 carb on this ‘67 LV build and WOW what a difference in running these adjustments made. I drew an un artistic drawing of what I made for adjustments to the step up rod height. I can’t wait to get it out on the road and test my results but I can say with it running and reving in my shop BIIIIG improvement! I ended up with a measurement between those two measurement points of 52mm.

Just got the exhaust back from Jet Hot coating! Looks great! I drove the LV about 5 miles and drives way better than did the first test drives! Very happy with the SD40 improvements I made

Where did you guys find this bracket? Or did your exhaust shop provide that?

Hey! It was off of some Toyota vintage part site that must of bought a bunch of old Toyota dealer parts back in the day. I have 2 more that I was using on the muffler ends but could not get a good seal out of them. But worked great as the rear hanger!

Very clean work! On the clamp, I thought these that I bought were the correct style for the J4's at least?

Thank you! That clamp does look like the style they used for sure. I just took pictures that show the part numbers that would have been for each of the 3 clamps and the part number on your box dosent come up. But I will say that clamp looks closer to original than the original Toyota clamp I got. I was on a time crunch and these clamps were the only thing I could find remotely close. I couldn’t use the other two of those style clamps because I couldn’t solve an exhaust leak I had. So I put on a newer technology clamp that dosent look way off from the one in your picture that has a 360 degree squeeze on the pipe.
Would you be Willing to sell one of yours?

SOR sells the clamps. $13 apiece. I’m sure you can probably find it in other places, but SOR does have them in stock.

Thank you for the inquiry but I have not seen these for sale again so I would like to keep them. For what it's worth, they came via Cyprus (so likely from the dealership in no-man's land) so that could get you in the ballpark of some.
