Distributor opinions on a ‘76 (1 Viewer)

[DesertDonkey]

I ordered some replacement ignition parts for my ‘76 FJ40 (with the 2F engine) and I discovered the PO had installed a small cap dizzy when my new cap and rotor were too big for the old unit (doh!).

I’d like to replace the smaller dizzy with something more robust.

I’m currently running a Weber carb and an aftermarket coil/resistor. It’s my understanding that the original large cap dizzy would perform better. Does anyone have opinions here? I wouldn’t rule out HEI or DUI setups, I’m interested in all options.

Thank you for taking a look!

I ran many years with a "69&earlier vacuum advance" distributor on my 74 engine. Switched to a later big cap dizzy, did not notice a difference.

I'm running an FJ60 distributor in mine; all electronic, bearings instead of bushings, very robust and reliable. The downsides are, parts to rebuild them are becoming hard to find, and you'll need the dished pushrod gallery cover (commonly called the "side" cover) from an FJ60 2F for it to fit.

I'm running the small cap distributor with a Pertronix installed with an 87 2F. No issues for many years and I am not planning to upgrade. I messed up the last time I ordered parts as well and also have the wrong cap and rotor so you're not alone there.

Large cap FJ60 here with a Jim C rebuild and recurve, many years of solid service. Echo @1911 that parts are getting hard to find if it ever lays an egg.

............... if it ever lays an egg.

Reach out to this guy: @4Cruisers - Rebuilt an '86 FJ60 dizzy a few years ago when I installed it along with a Holley Sniper setup on my 40.

Happy with set up redlinelandcruiser.com sales.
