We recommend contacting California's Part Locator Hotline. They might be able to help you find the thermo switch for your carbureted 1986 Toyota Pickup and bring the vehicle into compliance with state smog check laws. If the parts locator is unable to find you a thermo switch and this component is the only part needed which is stopping your Toyota Pickup from passing the smog check, the state's smog check referee's office may be able to issue you a "Limited Parts Exemption". In most cases the needed parts are found. You may contact the State Smog Check Parts locator by calling 800–622–7733.
