Racer (maybe we will get to call you by your real name one day?) I have rebuilt several 61012 carbs over the years, and have a couple of cores on the shelf at the moment. The phenalic spacer between the fuel bowl and the throttle body is about 3/4" thick in order to mimic the height requirements with the EGR tube-equipped 75-78 models.

The carb you show looks like the FJ60 variety that is not tall enough to reach the air cleaner on the 75-80 models. Perhaps you will need to offer a spacer like Marshall does with his aftermarket carbs.

I will be contacting you for some hose clamps soon. Even though I have re-zinced my period-correct clamps for my resto, it's nice to have options.

Thanks for the input Mark. Several people have asked different questions about this carb, so it's a great segue to the topic.

Some are wondering what year ranges it's for; some want to know if it's a plug and play replacement to their existing carb. My short answer (need others to pitch in) is that you have to go through a desmogging process / methodology and adapt your setup to this carb. However, a standard is forming, and the vast majority of the aftermarket world is using this particular part #. Just about all of the new carbs you may find on eBay or elsewhere is of this part #. Ditto for the Trollhole carb; however, as Mark pointed out, Marshall is offering the spacer to facilitate the adaptation.

The good news is that going forward, there will be consistency, support and community knowledge for those undertaking the desmog route.

LOL. My daughter just asked me about my handle at the dinner table the other night. As I told her, it's the closest car-related word I can think of that sounds like my real name.
 
I don't think it's too close to your name ... I think you picked it because 65 is a year before Mach Go go go came out in 66... Aka the 'speed racer' hence the Racer65

Admit it your a Japanese amine lover ... I like it too ... It's ok we are all friends here :)

Downloaded the code for the 3D light cover... I got a bit of tweaking to do to it... Had to run it thru a conversion program

Affected the overall size proportions ... But... Still works and fits the oem holder :)

Our 3D printer is on the cheap side... A last years model that was on sale ... Last year lol

It took about 17 minutes for the print each... These are the first attempts ... First was a fail because the old filiment wasn't totally cleared and the cover has a bit of black in it :meh:

The next one better... However the resolution needs to be upped a bit... This will increase print time to maybe 25 min? We will see :)

I may want to also try it without the raft

Thanks again for posting it up Racer!

Oem light ... 1st fail... 2nd better

Look like light covers to me Johnny! Great job for only 17 minutes of print. Mine takes over 6 hours, and then fed with Acetone fume for 2 more hours to smooth out the surface.

Feast your eyes on this NOS single barrel carburetor, OEM part # 21100-60034. The carburetor is at an old school shop in Japan. It took a while to get these pics, as the owner does not use the internet or speak English. However, the owner is well aware of its value. Need the experts here to weigh in on what it's really worth.

Whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

Other than that, it's just a piece of metal... And some rubber. And gaskets.

This type of "value" designation only makes any real sense when someone actually sees value in it enough to buy.

Other than that, it's a door stop. :meh:

I know of an entire 40' container with hundreds of these ( and later carbys) on pallet, stacked sky high....

The pick tag date code shows it to be a December 26, 1986? I doubt it is 1976.
 
Hidden caches for sure, I may have a contact in Japan soon. More out there than you would think.............

The carb has never left the motherland...

Back when I dabbled in importing in the early '90s, I bought a bunch of NOS carbs direct from Aisan. They were very easy to deal with, and the cost was, shall we say, very agreeable. It was part of my awakening to the markups in Toyota's chain of distribution. Funnily enough, the cheapest carb offering was not the 1bbl, but the 61025 two barrel. People knew way back then what a sad thing those carbs were

I still have several NOS 1bbls in my stash. As opposed to the '67 replacement carb shown, I bought the '68 version with the ICS. They were also made in 1986. My facilitator told me at the time that Aisan had communicated to him that the '86 run was the last by them for the 1bbl. And mine say Aisan on them.

As far as value goes, all I can definitively say is I've never had any issue selling one when I've been ready to part with one. But my business model is very different to most. Collectors will no doubt contact you discretely, and you will probably unload all you can put your hands on without ever making another post about it on the forum.

P.S. Have you thought about applying for vendor status?
