It was Cruiser Dan that I would always get parts from. Very Knowledgeable on Land Cruisers.
Called Austin Shop, sounds like he is not doing anymore conversions due to price and work that it takes to do them.
I'll try and get a hold of the gentleman in Irvin, Tx.
It has been some time since I have been on this forum. Bout to start doing some work on my 85 FJ60.
Looking for people in Texas area (Houston) that do the engine swaps. I remember one guy in Dallas I believe that did them. Just seeing who's all out there and what options.
Thanks guys
Looking for a dizzy that will fit an 1985 FJ60. I want to send it off to be recurved for a de-smog. If you have an extra laying around in rebuild shape, let me know with price.
Thanks,

Holy crap, Just spent hours reading pretty much this whole thread, taking notes, printing pictures, making parts list, etc...... several hours (at work I must say). I think I just answered every question I had by reading all that. I'm sure I will look over again to set distributor correct...
Who you ordering the black nylon caps from? The person you refer to as .... That someone.
This thread is so helpfull, trying to figure out all this in my head, so I go in with some sort of knowledge. I will be ordering all necessary parts prior to take down of cruiser.

I figured that was it, just wanted to clarify. i really appreciate all the good advice guys.
I don't think the pressure plate is in backwards due to the clutch being in over a year, but the new cluth master cylinder is only several months old. I will check all these things out and see what...
Ok just so I'm on the same page with you guys, where exactly is the slave cylinder? Is that under the vehicle against the transmission? Or up under the hood on the fire wall.
Never really had to mess with one before and I want to make sure I have the Terminology correct.
Thanks
How hard is it to replace the rear main seal?
How hard is it to do a front axle overhaul?
I will check the adjustment first, don't you access this from the inspection cover at the gear shift?
Thanks again guys
My pretty new clutch starts slipping after running around for a bit. Never did this before. It seems only to slip after everything is warmed up.
I had a new hydraulic clucth cylinder placed on (I think thats what you call it, mounted on the fire wall, the last one started leaking inside...
I bought the duracool chill oil so it would all be the same company brand. Poured out old oil from compressor and then added the new in.
I just want to make sure how much freon to put in cause my gauges aren't showing what it seems it should be. I don't want another mistake of over...
Dude I got one of those expidition bumpers that only a couple were made and I have the same problem. Looks like I have to grind out the welds and widen the mounting points and re-weld. Major pain that I was not expecting.
Not sure about a ARB, but that looks like my only way to make it fit
I am looking for the proper weight of r-12 that goes in a 85 FJ60 a/c system.
Does anyone have that info. ?
Also I am using Duracool to re-do my system after a compressor failure. I have my gauges on the low side and when the compressor kicks on it pulls the pressure down between 5 yo 8...
Anyone know of any places to score one of these?
Its dealer discontinued
Vato - zone says they can special order one, but just curious whats my choices out there
Thanks man, I also found out that Performance Radiators also may have them. So I have to wait until monday and find out if I can get one local or not. Please do check and see if you have one. I would rather have a new one if I'm going to do all this work again.
Thanks James
