Scaling back, enjoying time with Grandies and frequenting the occasional Car Show. I love parking next to the Ferrari's and getting more interest in my 40 series!
The most common non-US Land Cruiser distributor is the 19100-61080, which has the small housing, And there is the later 19100-61180 distributor used in non-US FJ62s. It has the medium housing.
I have at least one of each that can be refurbished...
Heat the yoke freeze the joint and install the caps with finger pressure instead of a press or hammer...
Then you can go enjoy your day with energy to spare because you work smarter, not harder.

When I installed the Sniper, I installed the FJ60 dizzy that I had refurbished. The distributer is actually the original unit that came with the '86 2F I purchased and had rebuilt back in 2015.
Note, the 'Ignition Timing Degrees' isn't...
Have you found an igniter yet? There are at least 3 or 4 igniters from other Toyota models that will work perfectly well with your ignition system. In some cases a jumper is required due to the distance between the igniter and the distributor...
Here is status on the other...
First real stop was in Moab (Arches NP) - and I took the Lincoln highway back from SAS so I can mark that on the map. So far, made it all the way to Stockton on the original Lincoln Highway route with it and the...
Spike a couple pieces of 2x6 one 8 and one 10. Pull up to the pump, stick the shim in front of the rear passenger wheel, pull up on the blocks, stop. Gas will pump in that aux a lot faster - 3 pieces is even better.
Below are the JPG files of an excel spread sheet I saved years ago from MUD. I can't remember who put this together, but they get the credit for it, not me.
Note, I do have the Excel file but can't upload to MUD. I want to say this came...
Still driving it around... and especially longer distance... all the way across AZ to the San Juans in CO.
Even towing a pop-up camper now!
Checked off a few bucket list trails...
Lots of updates on the truck... lots of catching up coming...
Bunch of sediment under the ACC spring. Boot is in great shape so idk. Got it out. And noticed last time I screwed around in there adjusting the float I did a shoddy job. Fuel level just a smidge higher now.
Straightened it out. Started it up...

The official baton-briefcase handoffs… both made it to Solid Axle Summit 10!

The other case rode in the front pass seat of my 40 back to VA from SAS10. Once the weather cools I have plans for a tour of VA and some other club visits.
We ran US 50 from Montrose to about Witchita then took the HWY on our 2000 miles trip home.
Getting things together to go to SAS next week and decided it was the right time to knock out another little project I have wanted to do. Not really on the truck but an accessory. I have a Trasharoo but it really doesn’t work on the 45 and...
Did an okie rebuild today. Drove around church and got it almost to 3K before having let rpms drop to make the turn around their lot.
After some angst and finally managing to find my ins ID card online I decided to head down to store… felt strong...
I can convert that 19100-61180 to Toyota electronic ignition, I have all the parts needed and have done several already. PM me if interested. Check out the details here (specifically Post #19)...
I will throw my name in the hat to get one back East. We have several active clubs in the VA-NC area. I can get it back out West to Moab in April of 27.
