Here are a couple of dizzy pics from my 1970 fj40. Can someone identify for me?
Thanks,

I'm new to the fj40 game. What do you have to do to add another port to the carburetor? Can you do this to a f carb and a 2f carb?That's a stock F engine vacuum retard distributor. I've modified several to convert them to vacuum advance, but you'd need to add an advance port to your carburetor tom take advantage. I still have parts for the conversion if you're interested.
You can.Can you use a chinese 2f carb with a vacuum retard distributor? If not why?
advancer/vacuum = kaput...
being a noob - is this something I could send off - and get back someday - I'm not sure where to source parts for restoration. soon salt will be on the road with that white stuff from the sky - so will be keeping inside 'til spring - think this and the wiper motor might be good winters projects.
I have a few good used single diaphragm advancers from F engines that will work, but you'd lose high altitude compensation. Good working dual diaphragm advancers for the '79 and '80 2F distributors are hard to come by, even harder to find are '80 through '87 advancers.advancer/vacuum = kaput...
The signal generators usually don't fail, and the breaker plates are usually fine after disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, and reassembly. The only parts you may need, other than the advancer, are the cap, dust seal, rotor, and shaft O-ring. All are available new from Toyota or aftermarket sources. More than likely the stop pin bushing for the mechanical advance will need to be replaced, hardware store nylon or aluminum spacers work well (1/4" OD, 1/4" long, with a hole for a #8 screw).I'm not sure where to source parts for restoration.
Thanks - I did see some parts you mentioned earlier today at Toyota - the igniter - will need to source one too or alternative.
