Appreciate the response!!

@Coolerman My original 1975 instrument cluster - the odometer stopped working ( well the 1/10’s work). On my 2nd aftermarket KPH cluster - both 50 amp meter burned out. Temporary- on the 2nd one - I did a hatchet job and installed my old 30 -amp meter - but that’s not a long term solution...

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.
