Bought my first FJ25 yesterday

Mark, what do you think the idea of that Delco was? I seem to get plenty of advance, right where it should be, with the stock distributor and advance.

Marketing. The grass is always greener on the other side.

The AC distributor doesn't advance the timing any more, or less than your stock unit, It just does it by moving the whole distributor instead of just the inside plate.

Well heck, that's just a big old step backwards. Marketing.

Got a closeup of the old Delco advancer. It says Delco-Remy.

YOu can park it under the newt and double stack em! Congrats Proffitt! Cool find! Awesome to see appreciation for the old school stocker and the hard core!

Well, I added one to the beginning of my collection of Cruisers. It's a 60 Fj25 (although the VIN starts with 9)

I'm excited to get it running and drive it maybe tomorrow. It belonged to the Yankee Boy mine in Ouray, CO for the first 7 years of it's life, and then to the same guy ever since.

It's all OD green, even the frame, does this mean military?

It's all original and seems to be all there but I really don't know much about them yet so let me know what cool stuff to look for.

It came with the OEM top (no canvas though) and one aftermarket soft top with doors that definately fit the rig. Actually, there are 3 sets of doors, although only one set is OEM.

I'm probably going to need some parts if anyone can help. I will buy or trade for other Cruiser parts that you may need. I've got at least one of every year but 58, 59, 61, 81, 82, and 83

I've decided not to part this rig as it's just too cool.

Hey Proffitts! I am hoping you are still getting notices regarding this older post. I too just bought my first (and I hope last!) FJ25 FST. I am just beginning to investigate its issues. Please respond to this post and maybe we can compare notes. Thanks, Rod W. Upstate, NY
