I found that my coil was bad, so Im going to replace that to see if it works. I wasnt getting any spark when cranking. If that doesn't work then I may be interested as it could be an issue with this distributor.
My amazon electronic dissy arrived today, looks quite similar to the ones you used to sell. The only think im confused about is the black wire with black connector coming off the body of the dissy by the vacuum advance. Anyone know what this is for?

This is the question I want answered as well.. im running 4.88's with 37s, but usually cut mine off at 2500rpm because as tigerstripe40 mentioned, it sounds like its going to explode. I only hit around 50 to 55mph usually and I call it quits there.
Its a common color to respray on these rigs, but I know I bought this one with another one that was in Idaho at one point, so it is possible that it was also there. These are pictures of the rig I bought with the blue one that @Aussie Alaskan has now. These pictures from 1997, I'm not certian...
Having the same issue as the one who started this thread with my '76 FJ40.. all lights work except turn signals. I tested a few things already, including the "GL" wire that is mentioned in a service manual I have.
If this wire pictured is the GL wire (green-light purple), i get around 8 volts...
As the middle-man between the previous owner and you, I am happy to see this project in the right hands! It's important to stay occupied up here in the dark months, and working on a Land Cruiser is the perfect activity for that! I am impressed with your drive and how far you have come with this...
