I would imagine something probably came with the carb? not sure what you purchased or from what company.
Here are some ideas..
do you have the "adapter" to the manifold and the "adapter" to an air cleaner?

Hi all, my name is Tim in Overland Park and I've had my '06 100 for a few years now. It's my DD so it's mostly stock with 33's that I put on it a few months ago. I've been lurking around here every now and then for the last few years so I figured it's past time for an introduction. I am very interested in finally seeing what it can do off-road. Since there aren't many places here in the suburbs to play around, and with a toddler at home, I can't easily get away for more than a few hours without some serious pre-planning, but I'd like to jump on one of your day trips or something. I do plan on doing a camping trip in Colorado later this year and want to avoid pavement as much as possible, so I'd like to get some practice in before that. I don't plan on doing more than mountain passes, but want the skills just in case I decide to do something dumb - I mean difficult. I'm historically not great at keeping up with online stuff so I can't promise I'll be on here a lot, but I do look forward to talking to and hopefully meeting some of you. Here's my truck next to my daughter's new rig, although she's scared of hers at the moment.

Look up the COBDR route. Put together for dual sport motorcycles but all 2 track, did it in my cruiser. Following my dad and uncle with dual sports with gear. Saw a wide swath of CO In 5 days. Very cool mild overland type route hitting a lot of cool areas minimal paved roads.

I specialize in 80 and 100 series, if you ever need service. Shop is off 69 and 179th.

I agree, looks like they have some other cool routes as well.

Ya BDR is the concept. Backcountry Discovery Route. The goal is to have a route across each state with minimal pavement. When they get to Kansas it will be the KSBDR.
 
Hey folks, my name is Mike and I live in Lawrence. I’m beyond pumped to be back in the land cruiser club after a 10 year hiatus (formerly had a 97 and a 86).

I recently picked up this really well cared for 96 FZJ80 with 195k miles. Haven’t done much to it yet other than cosmetics and stereo (removed running boards, new carplay unit, etc). Also removed the gold emblems and tried to get the gold pinstripe off and hit my first snag- the passenger door got clear coated OVER the pinstripe! Have been spending a lot of time just looking at what’s already been done by the pretty awesome PO.

Looking at getting her fully baselined and ordered some new wheels out as they’re a bit torn up - went with the Black Rhino Arsenals. I’m hoping to do a lot of the baseline work myself and couldn’t imagine doing it without this board. Pretty amazing how much knowledge is here, this community is awesome!

Welcome back to the madness
 
Hey yall my names Sam, my girlfriend and I just bought our first cruiser. It's a white 60 and we are in the kansas city area. Dont plan on wheeling the 60 too hard right now, but I do have a tacoma that I have set up for wheeling. I am pretty experienced with automotive, but this is my first old vehicle so it would be good to know some people in the area with other old cruisers. Not always sure that everything sounds and runs right or what it's even supposed to run like. We would not be aposed to an LS swap, is there anyone around with any swaps? We have also fallen slightly in love with this beauty and it would be cool to get to know the cruiser community. We also have a honda crv still kickin and gettin close to 300k. I mostly drive a little s*** box manual accord with 300k and a 50k engine from Japan, I'm trying to see if it will go 600k.

Hi Sam, welcome to the group. I have an 84 FJ60 that I’ve gone through many things on it over the last couple years of ownership. I’d be happy to meet up sometime if you have questions. I live near ward parkway mall.

Awesome, I am deffinitely down. Currently mine is taken apart for rust repair in the rear c channels and relocation of the hitch because rust made me some nice holes in the rear bumper I get to fill. The hitch will hopefully fit perfectly in the holes

I'm on the border of liberty and KCMO 435 and 35 area. Looks like yours has some rust to treat too. I keep finding more and more in the rear end
