1994 fzj80. Did a complete tear down on the engine, sent to the machine shop and rebuilt the block and head. Replaced several of the connectors and checked the wiring harness and rewrapped it. Most of the wrap and wire looms were gone and wires were shorting out.
Started and ran pretty well...
80 Series Tech, I need some assistance. I recently replaced my distributor and TPS, and I'm experiencing the following:
1. Low idle. Idling at around 400-500RPM
2. When setting the timing, I let the car warm up and then jump the TE1 and E1 terminals, and oddly enough the timing DOES NOT...
Recently, I replaced the distributor on my 80 since it was leaking oil into the distributor cap. So I'm a novice and I made a novice move and, though the cap was marked, I took out the dizzy and turned the engine (I don't remember why I did this and I learned my lesson). So I ended up finding...
So I actually have questions on both my trucks, as I've never been able to advance my timing beyond 7-10deg BTDC. However, I'm going to avoid questions on the properly running truck at the moment and concentrate on the FJ40 that just suddenly decided to not run right. Quick backstory, I've done...
Hey guys I’m installing my distributor and I’m having some trouble with it not sitting completely down to the clamp. There feels like a 5mm gap is showing.
Iv followed the manual for installing it by getting to TDC on compression and angle the oil gear with the rotor and distributor all...
Replaced my D.U.I. distributor with the corresponding Hyperspark ignition system for the Holley Sniper EFI. This distributor was on my FJ40 when I bought it. ALSO…To have all of the available parts when needed for tune-up I bought a new Cap/Coil, LiveWire spark plug wires, module and rotor...
Giving it a shot as the usual suspects around me don't seem to have a lead. If you happen to have one or a have a lead on a solid dizzy -- one with a working vacuum advance -- could you let me know? My every day driver FJ60 is in need of one stat.
Must take all items. I will not split or sell individual items.
Some other smaller miscellaneous FJ40 items taken off a restoration will be included in the sale but not shown.
$325 for all items
Ever seen one with this twist adjuster on the back? Trying to identify the year, it’s an earlier one, ie pre 73, but unsure when. Any idea what that adjuster does? Perhaps adjust the vacuum?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had some information about the distributor cap rubber cover. Just wondering if it’s original or not and if they are still made? Has numbers 1-6 on the cover to show where each spark plug wire would go. The second picture is a cutout for the wiring/green connector...
I just smoke tested my 80 and found two spots where I have leaks to address.
First, I have a pretty good flow of smoke coming from around the fuel injector on cylinder 3. I imagine there is an o-ring on the outside of the injector that has probably failed. As best I can tell, these are original...
Does this seem a tooth off? I’m running a little rough but I thought if I was a whole tooth off it would be really rough. I think I’m supposed to be pointed between 3&4 right?
Hello!
For reasons I will not disclose, I’d like to replace the bottom distributor housing. Hah! Has anyone taken a dizzy apart—I haven’t looked at doing it yet but anyone who has done it—any tips? Thanks!

I finally got my 1FZFE motor from the rebuild shop and installed in the 93 LC (gas). Identified some leftover bolts thanks to all the input from this forum, and cranked it up. It ran ok despite a high idle so I left it for the night. Today I tried to set the timing and that's when I hit a wall...
I looked through the threads on this site and was surprised that I couldn't find anything that related to distributors and coils. Therefore I have started one. Here's my dilemma. In troubleshooting idling, performance and running issues with my 1978 FJ40, in addition to the carb issue (addressed...
