Yeah it’s hitting the whole choke cable and vacuum assembly at the back of the carb (top picture) thinking about putting a ramflo air cleaner or something similar

Also is there a spacer in between carb and air cleaner ?

Awesome so red dot blocked off on the vacuum diagram ? The carb is a restored carby off a 4k genuine Toyota, one more question you might know the answer too my air cleaner won’t sit on carb due to these vacuum inlets leads me to believe it’s a carb of a later model Corolla with air con ?

Hey guys got a couple of questions regarding Carb on my 4k, I purchased a carby rejetted and set up for the 4k it runs mint but I have a bunch of vacuum lines I don’t know where they go or what the are for any help is much appreciated just trying to find if the are needed or for air con etc

Also I couldn’t find a boot light anywhere on the boot most probably taken out ? There was a bunch of audio in the car from the amount of wiring I stripped out of it 3 x 0 gauge power wires 3 x 0 gauge earth wires mass amount of speaker cables and 3 sets of rca cables my guess is it had a killer sound system back in the day ! Not for me prefer the sound of that old 4k. it’s definitely had some wiring done behind the dash has a head unit and couple gauges installed oil press and water temp but temp seems to have stopped working I’m guessing the temp sensor is buggered I’ll get a new one from auto barn in the weekend. then I’m honestly about ready for the roadworthy only worry is the front seats are not standard but the are on the factory (fabbed up) rails

Banjo, hey mate that coffee definitely went cold ! anyway nah had no luck with the fuel sender wire, but now seem to have run into another minor issue! seems as tho my carbs are out of tune won’t hold idle with out choke out, runs ok under choke, now that’s a problem but it’s not the issue….i have contacted 9 mechanics and honestly 7 have said they haven’t ever touched a carby outside of school, so her lies the issue I’m in Melbourne’s south east suburbs and can not for the life of me find a mechanic that wants to give it tune for me. u seem to have quite an extensive knowledge on these 4K motors now would your recommendation be take of the dual carbs and go back to single carb? Or find someone to tune the dual carbs ? I’ve been told the delorrto 40s drown these motors? I have a guy here that has the most extensive range of old KE parts and knowledge but again I don’t wanna rely on him as he has own work on plus he is an old fella should be enjoying these years not working on my old Corolla lol. anyway the plate thing nah the owner held onto the old Sydney historic plates, mate I would give the wife and kids for an og plate for the old girl but I think I’m just gonna settle for a Japanese style plate without a custom word or anything(I wanna get her on full rego down here in vic use her daily like she deserves). any advice /info is much appreciated mate thanks ! fuel sender isn’t winning incoming new gauge and wiring kit so we will run a new one !

Banjo, found this wire gonna give it the test as soon as the wife is available hahaha

The oversized battery was more for the cranking some mornings in the cold plus I think previous owner had a rather large stereo system installed in the car none of it is in there any more trying just to get her to be a reliable daily

Hey Banjo A lot of work has gone into the whole car the fuel system was a fuel cell but it’s against the law here in Melbourne. Got the tank sorted with the help of knowledgeable older fella, and the fact the outlets are all different sizes small medium and large, I’m now stuck however on the fuel sender wire I believe I have found the og wire from the fuel gauge but am terrified that it’s not the right wire any suggestions on a test that doesn’t require a tear down of the dash to follow wire. Yeah the flap is there as an “in case” of touching there is plenty of clearance between the battery and bonnet, I believe the motor has had a bit of work done but again I’m not a hundred percent sure until we tear it down for a rebuild later in the year. Car is very clean all around and not far from being another survivor on the road !

Hello first post here ever, recently purchased a KE55 with a fuel cell in the boot in place of standard tank. Done very well but in Victoria it’s not allowed so I’ve got my hands a new tank in fairly good condition now fitting it isn’t an issue it’s the fuel line layout is it vent, fuel in, fuel out or vent, fuel out, fuel in. filler is on left hand side of pictures as would sit in car. any help would be appreciated thanks guys for providing a place to help freshies like me !
