Very nice.:) Is that a huge oil reservoir on the side.? Surprised they didn't put a filter on also.

HA:lol: its a grease fitting/tube............, you pack it with grease and the distributor shaft has a narrow "worm drive" type cut in it to disperse the grease
 
Looks good Sean. Interested in feed back once it's installed. Is this a F120 distributor? My two that should of had the F120 one was replaced with a 2F the other was striped and missing the distributor.

I also may have found someone local who is interested in doing the soft tops. I will try and get more of a commitment. If I can I guess Iwill try and track Phil down.

it is a 120, really pretty simple. the only part of the distributor that I'm concerned about is the vacuum advance diaphragm. it is non-serviceable and no longer available

I also have a possible line on some early OEM style top duplicated from an original in good shape. The producer is south of us but I don't want to throw info around until I get further along. One has already been made and it came out beautiful, but some alterations were made per the owners request so it is not exactly what I was looking for. more info to come

Could get lucky with diaphragm since it wasn't off a AZ (desert) cruiser. It looks like a pretty simple design but my only cruiser that still has a F120 is being sold.

I believe I know the top you are talking about. The quality looked good. It was just part of the design I didn't like. But it was a top for the early soft top which has a problem finding one that doesn't require a second mortgage.

I hadn't seen the pictures in a while so I just did a search and that top does really look nice. Design wasn't as far off as I remembered. Keep us up dated.
 
I know I saw it questioned in another thread somewhere, but has anyone come up with a close match for the infamous "dark green" for the starter, generator, tool box and know the distributor?
 
That is a really cool treasure ... You need to post that up in the treasure thread :)

Cool about the tops as well... Love to hear more

I don't think there was a concensus to the correct green... Kinda looks like the dark green from ford model a's... I wouldn't be surprised if it was a match
 
Definetly not the teq as we know it... Especially when it's made in USA :)
 
The made in the USA refers to the shafts, it seems as though someone has epoxy'd the TEQ heads onto the newer shafts?
 
Toyota only used トヨタ ... Not TEQ ... So I still say its a USA made thing LOL

Any luck finding a dark green?
