If anyone around the Amarillo or Albuquerque area has an hei distributor or electronic ignition set up they would like to sell let me know.
Car is running good still but ignition has been a battle for a while, I think it’s time for electronic ignition.
I think replacing the hole distribution with an HEI might be best.Pertronix 1662LS.
although by the symptoms you described, I’m wondering if there is play in the distributor shaft and you need a new distributor (or maybe they can be rebuilt?) in which case the Pertronix may not help much.
This has worked well for me. @50peaks sent Jimmy and Casey a note…I’m sure the community will deliver; always does.Pertronix 1662LS.

I did the same - no issues + would do it again....I upgraded to this distributor with the Pertronix. Big difference in going from vacuum retard to vacuum advance…( but note that it uses a short rotor - which is something else that might be worth double checking and make sure the correct rotor is installed with the type of distributor cap currently installed)

I have this … I can send… (it was superseded by 19102-45150 - still relevant & still new in box).Jimmy and Casey likely both at Lone Star Roundup this weekend.. so not home (but maybe getting home later this evening?)
@50peaks - I can overnight FedEx my extra Pertronix tomorrow morning to where you will be staying Tuesday evening. But I don’t think I have an extra of the short rotor that would be needed. But a Toyota dealership should be able to get that overnight. Your call
