I have an original f engine in my 72 fj40. I tried to order a pert tonic for it and they require a distributor part number and I can’t see it on mine.


Search has me confused.

Thanks!

No, I don't think that's the OPs dizzy. That one looks like a vacuum advance, OPs looks like a vacuum retard.
OP; that looks like the original vacuum retard dizzy, most people would suggest disconnecting and plugging the vacuum line to the dizzy.
Many people, like me, might suggest switching to a vacuum advance dizzy, like the one linked above. Put a Pertronix in it instead of your current dizzy.
 
KISS. Since the distributor is rotated 180 degrees from the factory mounting orientation, it could just be that the number is currently hidden, and rotating it will provide the answer.
