Hello all,
I just purchased a 1979 fj. PO said it ran when he parked it about 8 years ago. So far I've drained and cleaned the fuel tank/lines, changed out all fluids and filters, cleaned the carb and checked that the engine spins freely.
At this point I'm close to starting it up but the distributor is a rusty mess. From doing some research the 79 has an all electronic distributor and seems to be hard to get. Can I rebuild it? Do I need to by a HEI/DUI? get a fj60 one? Or is there a place to buy an OEM replacement that I haven't found?
Any help is appreciated, thanks again.
