1. Id like to know if I need a ballast for this original setup that I have?
I believe its a distributor for 79-80 with the igniter mounted on the coil. however there is no ballast mounted on the coil. The truck is a 1969 fj55 with a transplanted late 70s early 80s engine with power steering and NO dented push rod cover. (I DON'T recommend the cheap ($90) HEI distributor on ebay (blue). It lasted a few months and no I have no spark from the dizzy)
2.Did toyota ever have a setup with a ballast mounted separate from the igniter/coil, somewhere on the firewall?
Id love a picture guide to the ignition components and their details explained. I know that it's not the big dizzy and will work with my non-dented push rod cover.
I'd also like to know:
3.what do all the wires coming off the igniter/coil do since ive never had the original parts on this truck.
THX
