I’ll take it for $80. Let me know how to send payment (Venmo, Paypal)... thx

She looks great! I wish my rust bucket looked that good. Many years of work ahead...

MadMace, I used a remote starter (best $20 I ever spent), removed the coil so it wouldn't start and bumped the trigger until I saw the timing mark and BB. Then, I turned the fan while pressing on the belt (so it didn't slip) to get the BB aligned to the other mark. After that, I put a spot of...

Or, it’s a different La Rue family in SA...

It’s a small world. I grew up in Henderson, NV and I believe Kevin mentioned you have relatives there. I haven’t seen Kevin in years though I see him on Facebook.

Thanks! I found the FB club. By the way, you any relation to Kevin by the same last name in SA?

Nice FJ, by the way...

I live off of I-10 just north of The Rim, near the Dominion. I work in Shavano near Bitters/1604. Just bought a 72 and it needs a lot of work. Got it running yesterday but can't put it in gear so slave and/or master cylinder likely bad. Let me know if you guys ever get out for a drink... would...

I'm also in San Antonio and just picked up my first FJ40. Any Land Cruiser clubs in town? Didn't find any active ones via Google. Thanks

Success! I followed all of the good tips I received in this forum and the old rust bucket fired right up! Thank you all for your help! For future newbies like myself, I'm going to summarize how I seated the distributor and set the timing. Feel free to correct me as will likely post something...

Apparently, I'm not swear enough or loud enough!

I ordered a fancy remote starter so I'll give this a shot this weekend.

I also used a long screwdriver to align the slot, but do you align it with the distributor before it's being pushed down or do you guess where it's going to end up because it rotates slightly when installed? thanks much
