Hi everybody,
I have a nice 1969 RT 43 with 3RC engine. I found at Ebay a rebuilt carb to my car. The firm who is selling them, says they are from a warehouse, which had some forgotten rebuilt carbs by Holley.
Anyhow, I bought one for $95,00 which was quite reasonable for a carb worth new. It looks to be fine, and exatly as original, with one exeption. The thermostatic valve was complete missing from it. There are two holes at the carb body inside the thermostatic valve chamber. The lower one was plugged by the rebuilder for some reason. Does anybody understand the thermostatic valve system, and I presume, that there must be some obvious reason for omitting the valve and plugging the hole.

The rebuilder took the easy way out probably because of the lack of parts (the valve and/or the plastic cover). The elimination of the valve should not cause any big problem.
At this time, these are the least expensive carburetors available (and I do stock some of them).
I have in process about 15 carburetors that have have the zinc castings recolored, the bases coated in a black finish & the shafts rebushed, and all shafts have been nickel plated. That cost plus other new parts will make them about $400 each for the those that want a carburetor that looks 'new'.

Yeah, sure I can post up a pic. there must be somewhere some instructions how to do it. I am not very good wit these PC:s.
Thank´s for Your information Carlyn. I can of course use the valve from my old carb, and try to open that plugged hole, but if that works without it, so I can leave it as it is.

Well, here we are. The license plate? I am a Finn living in Sweden and the car comes from California. Corona was once very popular in Finland. Toyota is actually one of the best selling cars in Scandinavia. I hope that this works, and it did I bet there aren´t many Toyotas from California over here.

Thank´s for your nice comments guys. The car has gone thru some kind of a restoration some time in the U.S. For some reason, women, even those, who aren´t intrested about cars, do like this little car, giving positive comments. Of course, I dont mind

Carl, aren't some of these pieces related to whether there was an automatic transmission or not, and/or whether it was California or not? Seems I recall looking at the exploded diagrams something in that regard. BTW, it's hard to believe you're only a Junior Member. The rebuilder took the easy way out probably because of the lack of parts (the valve and/or the plastic cover). The elimination of the valve should not cause any big problem. At this time, these are the least expensive carburetors available (and I do stock some of them).

On the 1965-67 3RB Corona, there were separate part numbers for the carburetors used in the manual & the automatic models, but if you look at the parts used to assemble each, you will find just minor differences, not worth knowing about.
In the 1968-70 models, there was no distinction between manual and automatic models. The major change in these years was from non-ISO to ISO threads pitch. For example, the screws holding the air horn (top) to the bowl were changed from 5mm-0.9P to 5mm-0.8P. Carlyn Dinkler cdinkler@bellsouth.net
