1975 2F Piggy with Weber 38 carb and DUI dizzy...need some insight please:)

Ok guys...since it sounds like I need a new dizzy...should I go back to an OEM points or stick with the aftermarket electronic?

I wish I could just plug a good one in and test to make sure that is what the heck is going on...

either convert to a big cap FJ60 electronic dizzy set up, a non-USA vac advance dizzy w/ a pertonix (to get rid of the points), or try one of Trollhole's repo non-USA vac advance carbs.

Orangefj45 has an fj60 fully electronic set up for $125

Resurected! Status update...she's alive!!!

Long story short we ended up running a line direct from the ignition key to the starter. 12-volts direct at ignition and no more acceleration problems. Friggin thing fired up and has been running like a champ. Not street legal yet, as I'm starting the bumper build this weekend, but it has taken a few neighborhood cruises every-other-day the last couple weeks. Rows through the gears without hesitation. Crazy considering all the frustration and drama heretofore.

Here are a couple photos next to the 'new' Land Cruiser
