You must be talking about Eric.

I'm over in Rexburg. I'm guessing everyone on the Treasure Valley page is in the Boise/Treasure Valley area?

Did this cause you to lose power to just the ignition system or all systems connected to the key switch. I have an electric fuel pump that will still run even when there’s no spark. This thing had a lot of non-factory equipment on it when I got and I haven’t worked out all the bugs from the...

Those are all good suggestions. I’ll check all those things and see what happens. Definitely wouldn’t have thought of some of them. Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it, especially since I’m trying to get the thing running during finals week and moving because I graduate.

Forgot to mention, It has a Weber 32/36. I wish it had the factory Aisin.

For months my Cruiser has been randomly shutting off while driving. I have not been able to predict or replicate it when I want to. When checking things without actually driving, everything seemed normal. Last week it died entirely and has no spark. It’s a 1977 FJ40, 2F, MSD6, Mallory magnetic...

Thanks for your responses. Pursuing these avenues.

My dizzy on my 1977 FJ40 is chewing itself to shreds. I’m in Moab and I need to get back home to Idaho or to my Parents in Colorado. Does anyone know where I can get a working dizzy ASAP? The local shops don’t carry any (not that I’m surprised at that). Still got the factory 2F. It currently has...

Having the diff in the way would be a pretty major problem. What’s the benefit of the 9.5 diff over the high pinion 8?

‘Mud, I have a 1977 FJ40 and I have axles from a 1993 FZJ80. I plan to swap the 80 axles under the 40. I want to go SUA, yes SUA not SOA. I plan getting custom made Alcan Springs. What problems could I run into? Complications with brakes, e-locker wiring, different driveshaft flanges, etc...

Distance from t-case flange to pinion flange would be excellent as well. Thanks
