At wit's end, please help!

PS: Whenever people daydream of cool non-US Land Cruisers, there are the things you need to think about as well. Yes, you get a myriad of cool components, but you also get a lot of *obscure*, hard to source and expensive components, that make daily driving and/or remote four wheeling a nightmare.

Not true at all. Just pay your bills when you ask people to get you parts from overseas and it will not be a problem.


Dave, sitting on $400 worth of useless to me FJ60 bits.

Henry, just dropping you a note to say "Hi", I am a friend of Reljacs and he's always bragging on your wagon. He and I both just got wagons, and he's talking about a wagon run to Moab this year. You guys could shack up at my place (cruiser central for West Texas ) in Amarillo on the way to and from and we could caravan from here; it's on your way.

Rats! I had a theory I thought was a good'un. Distributer roll pin sheared. Engine was turning, but the dizzy would stay in time or not turning at all. that would explain the lack of oil pressure.
That or no power to the coil on crank because of the starter swap. The ignition feeds through the ballast resistor when running, but has a direct feed during crank.

What was it, henry?

By the way, those considering SOA's should take into account that working on engine bay of the Cruiser becomes a *BITCH*, there's no good place to put a step ladder and I skinned both shins sliding off the hubs. Still doesn't make the SOA a bad mod (actually a great one), but still, what a royal PITA...

Invest in a tire step. They are pretty cheap and invaluable for work like that.
