Thanks for the info; it's not an original starter but I would be interested in getting the NIPPONDENSO you recommended. Do you have one for a 1969 engine?
New to this site but looking for some guidance on my FJ; I've had the vehicle since 2003 and my starter's gone out; I was told by the previous owner that the engine was out of a 1969 FJ so I would assume that I need a starter replacement for a 1969? Sounds like a dumb question (I know) but...
