questions

I recently pulled out my voltage regulator on my 77 cruiser to check if it is working properly, but when I look at the FSM I am confused. There are 2 styles in my book and my regulator has parts of both. What is correct for April of 77?? Is this even an oem regulator? Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone, I've owned my FJ60 for a couple of months now and have been getting my hands pretty dirty adding and replacing a myriad of components. I took my rig to a local Landcruiser shop near me for a vehicle inspection to get the lay low on what is, and isn't, working properly. One of...
