Ill check my manual at home, I have a 1975 that according to grok is 1.4 to 2.4 ohms Expected Resistance: For a 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser with points ignition: • Ceramic Ballast Resistor: Typically 1.4 to 2.0 ohms. When I moved off the AFFORDABLE fuel injection and electric ignition...

Well. That ballast may have degraded and maybe creating too much resistance. The manual has the resistance value. If you need me to look it up- I will.

5volts seems low to me, and if true likely your issue. Test the resistance between the distributor case ( ground) and the negative side of the battery - should show as a short.

What does the battery voltage drop to when under a load when starting - if below 10.8 volts - that’s not good for the battery. Make sure that the battery is charged before you try to start the engine. On the battery side one the ballast - you should have the same voltage as the battery. On...

You’ll need to call him.

Plummers torch and solder will work too.

I doubt Mud is defending Matt. Bumping all of those thread, tho certainly got the point across, also created allot of negativity. I’ve had three dealings with Toyotamatt - and - those 3 transactions followed the trend that has happened to you. The stuff I got - is fantastic, but the process...

At this point. I’d have to agree. If he can advertise, and yet not own his service conversation and quality conversation here isn’t right. He should consider moving his inventory to a reputable vender here and wash his hand of the logistics of his inventory. Toyota Matt has incredible...

My recommendation would be to find an alternator (electric motor). repair shop in your area and see if they can get your fitment better. Or go OEM. Please be careful of piping more than 50 to 60 amps thru your dashboard- as your dashboard and wiring is not designed to handle more than

Looks handy to me. Tho — a warn winch belongs there.

motor and or transmission mounts? ( easy to replace). Spark plug and coil wires? Dirty carb jet?

Parts logistics for non US FJ40 Landcrusiers is considerably different than a US FJ40 - as are the manuals and part numbers themselves. Totally agree- need to study the vehicle. BAT is an enormous wealth of information as is this website.

Prev owner put a AFI system - and removed the OEM linkage - I was soooo thrilled to find the OEM linkage and go back to stock - couldn’t agree with you more. If you going to crawl - there is a mod for the Weber that will keep fuel out of the throttle body at extreme angle, but - that’s not my...

@65swb45 (marksoffroad) is known for rebuilding a solid carb. CITYRACER might have a new OEM carb. https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/aftermarket-2f-carburetor-for-land-cruiser-fj40-fj60-made-in-japan?_pos=3&_sid=6af7609ee&_ss=r At some point- I hope to hire Mark to build me a carb for my...

I didn't get into the part buying till May 2024; 99% of the conversations regarding parts and supplier is outstanding. These negative threads are not obvious. I suggestion would be to do what Yelp and others do in a grading process and make that more obvious here on in this forum. That...
