Hi^C sez he needs a dizzy or two...but which ones?
 
LOL, bottom three appear to be the same

top two are visually different on the vacumn diaphram, the top left diaphram faces the other way.

here is the problem, 76 has a delco in it. and the 73 i havent looked at it and it is currently nowhere close for me to see it.

I Play with dizzys, not TOYOTAs. Hei, points, etc....

Now my questions start. mechanical advance? retard vacumn on 73-75 only dizzys?

now on retard vacumn set timing with vacumn hooked up, then with loss of vacumn you advance? sounds logical.

Bottom line, i need dizzys, to get a none moving cruiser out of the way. I have at least one GM hei in backup, but prefer to have the OEM dizzy to work and see if i can just use them.

none of this scares me, but i need the dizzy info sorted, and better explaination of the differences in the models. none electric, semi electric, electric, going of SOR section on dizzys.
 
top right is a non US(aka early Cruiser) dizzy with the octane adjuster, its advance. Looks like its had some work done to the fittings for the advance as they like to brake off and are an odd size

top left is a retarded dizzy

bottom 3 are vac advance, prolly 75/76ish?
 
There are no early vac-advance dizzys in that pic. I run the '68 dizzy in both my rigs. I keep those spares in another box. They're not for sale.
The lower three do appear the same. The tag on one (the shiny one) reads:
19100-60080
029100-2801
F 2 K 12

The "2 K 12" is hand stamped into the tag. Is that the date code?
Leads me to believe they're '70-'74 vacuum retards.

Top left is a small body, diaphragm faces the opposite way. Metal tag, riveted to the body (like a '68, but no octane adjuster) reads:
19100-60064
029100-2030
F 5 K
Don't know what to make of that.

Top right I dunno. Can't read the tag. Same body as the '70-'74 but a vac-advance.
 
top right, thought I saw the octane adjuster on the left side of it.
 
well, i see the links, read the information, looked at the pic in the second link, but still have not a clue which dizzy belongs to what grouped yrs, and which is vac ad or vac retard.


SEND me some dizzys i will play with them here, and get this thing moved. LOL

contacting people, i will buy several for cheap. got to get one going no matter what.
 
Dude,
Chill.
Let me finish my coffee, I'll get a couple of these in the mail today.
 
The three on the bottom are 75-76ish vacuum retard. Also offered in CA in 1974, which explains that confusion Pighead.

Top left is the standard vac retard.

Top right is the 76-77 vac advance. What looks like the octane selector to you is actually an oversized ground pin. Look at the dizzy clamp and you'll see it's the later model variety.

;)
 
LOL, this thing has been down a month, and it isnt going anywhere.

I have header coming in this week, and then all i am needing is a dizzy.

pig got PM
 
Last pic of the upper right mystery dizzy before it goes in the mail...
 
O.K., Hi^C, It is done..
Events since I last posted:
Noticed lots of play in the shaft of the ('74-'76ish) dizzy in the pic, found worse play in another, sent you the shiny-newest looking one (lower right) 'cause there's no play in that shaft. Plus the top right, whatever it is, plus dust covers, rotors and caps.. Grabbed a handfull 0f plugwires, shoved it all in a box at Kinkos. 7.55 pounds. 23.50 U.S. dollars Fedex express saver (third business day)..
What do you owe me? Nothin' for the parts. Beer for the postage and parking meter..
But, I do require you to pass along this small kindness 7 times. And each time charge the recipient the same.
