Using the photos from Matt's kit I believe I found the necessary primary components for the tensioner. Anyone who reads this, feel free to reach out with questions. Getting it all from Toyota, 3 days away.

Damn, well I appreciate the advice, I'll make the necessary arrangements. Any tips on where to get an 80 alternator tensioner? 😂

Hey yall, Hoping to reach @toyotamatt about my order. It seems that he doesn't reply to emails, and I can't direct message him here. Any update on my order or method of contact so I can get my parts would be great. Cheers & Thank you, - Rory

Update #2!: Got the Cruiser smogged (SMOG, California Emissions Testing) today and she passed with flying colors! I silently watched as the evaluating technician either didn't have the patience, or the skill to verify the timing. Thank you all for your help! I look forward to utilizing this...

Well that's the best news I've heard all week! I'll implore my friend to take a strong look at the documents provided and I'll get back to y'all ASAP! Thank you!!

Thanks for the feedback and diagnostic information! I'll pass it all along today! I will add that we have no power at the ignition coil, igniter, or distributor. If I understand the pin out for the ECU correctly, the ECU should be supplying the distributor with power, so that the hall effect...
