Lots of fun! I still need to do the upholstery, I feel I might need more tweaks ... @CruiserTrash I bought your speaker spacers just recently, I hope to have a proper radio installed soon!

A lot of measurements and a lot of try and error... this has been my hobby on the last months...

Nice looking line up

It is working properly now. The appropriate V pulley is a most do! As well as upgrading the battery to alternator connection as the old fusible link will not last long... Love the one cable setup... Support and Fj60 knowledge from Quality power is not the best but at the end I feel it is well...

Hi - Short answer I bought a HEI dizzy from ManAFre. I found out that I was off by 180 degrees. I ended up calling my mechanic friend. We did run the dizzy with mechanical points for seconds. It never idled good, we attributed that to temporary connections and lack of the resistor. But...

They said they are shipping a newer style of alternator as I confirmed by email and the pictures from this thread. Apparently it will have some benefits. Currently waiting for the appropriate pulley as they ship with a 3/8 wide pulley by default while FJ60s are 5/8 wide (at least the US spec...

Thanks Thanks! Interesting to see the alternator grounded not only by the mount but by a wire.

Hi - guys! need help! I bought the high output alternator from Quality Powers too however I does not look like this alternator at all (mine has the fan inside the case). I tried to test fitted today with the jay bracket and it is definitely a no go. Too much interaction with the upper bracket...

I bought one of those Quality Power - High Output Alternators for my 1987 FJ60. Main feedback, it's far from being a direct bolt-in. J-bracket is very tricky (holding my comments for now). I don't want to jump to conclusions as I work with the support guy responding my emails. Does any body...

I bet most of the people following already know but just in case someone is following and wondering... I was 180° off top dead center, good friend and mechanic drove to my place to help me and laugh at me. Learned a lot!. I was able to start the car with the new dizzy and points. We removed it...

So I did tried again today to install the non US dizzy upgraded with pertronix. I failed miserably after a good 6 hours of work. Bypassed the igniter but I was not able to get spark. I believe maybe I killed the Pertronix yesterday by not knowing what I was doing. So just because I really...

So, just finished 6 hours of hammering into the install... Sadly... It kicked my butt. Understandable as I'm not a mechanic but damm. Truck was running fine, vacuum advance shot. I found BTDC (Aligned the needle to the ball). Took the old dizzy out and put the new one. My timing shouldnt be...

Thank you for your replies. Sounds easy now that you mentioned but I panicked, I didn't want to burn my Pertronix. Thanks all, I'll try the install next Sunday

Picture of the dizzies Picture of the truck because I love it! (not my garage! wish I have that much room to play)

Hi All, It is 2025 and the dizzy for the FJ60 is no longer available, I believe it is part number 19100-61102. Not only that, the common failure of these dizzies are the double advance diaphragms and there is no solution, there is no direct fit double diaphragm spare part to drop in. There are...
