Alert: Cruiserhead needs help in Big Pine Key (near Key West)

[cruiseroutfit]

A good friend and Cruiserhead is stuck in Big Pine Key, Florida with a seized distributor on a newly purchased 1987 FJ73 (carb'd 3F). We believe the vehicle has an aftermarket HEI style distributor. A 2F dizzy out of an FJ60 along with the coil would be a direct fit and would get them back on the road.

Is anyone in the vicinity and able to offer assistance of any kind?

Can anyone recommend a shop familiar with Land Cruisers in this area?

Can anyone recommend a wrecking yard that might have a Land Cruiser in this area?

Please reach out to me asap on my cell phone (801-518-3937) if you have any help to offer. Thanks in advance!

I wish I was close enough to help, but that's down there!

I also wish I even knew anyone south enough to be 'close'...

I'm not any help here, but I'll keep my ears open and see if I can find someone that CAN help.

Miami might be the closest help. I remember someone down there, I think it's Louis?

Thanks for the replies gents. They ended up renting a truck to haul it home. Thanks again!

Damn... Wish I saw this. I have a 2F dizzy and coil I could have overnighted.

How far north are they heading? If they get as far as Gainesville I am Deo (mel lowe) could sell them those parts. I'm happy to wrench in Orlando if they have issues there.

Wait that was Greg Miller?!?!? I really hope to get to visit his museum someday.
