FJ40 1975-77 Igniter 89620-60010 Dismantled For Restoration. Electrical experts - can you identify this component?

[Ackcruisers]

I’m in the process or restoring several 89620-60010 75-77 Igniter. While disassembling, I found the below component to the igniter was broken. Can you identify it is and what it’s purpose is?

No claim to being an electrical expert, but that looks like a ballast resistor.

Also my guess...

Thanks to @Engineer8000 this is a wire wound resistor. The wire is nichrome and the core material is fiberglass. I need to measure ohms and watts to properly size a replacement or make my own.

Was this off your vehicle? Didn't think general market 40s with a 2F had an ignitor with the ballast resistor.

My truck came to the US with an aftermarket electronic ignition. I’m installing a US spec 89620-60010 semi electronic ignitor to run points.

Ballast resistor. My Feb. '76 has one. I'm in the process of cleaning up a couple igniters myself. I purchased a new ballast resistor because the OEM was in bad shape. I found it on Ebay. RU-21 from Spark AutoParts. It's for a '75-'77 Corolla, Corona,or Celica, but in the application chart also lists Land Cruiser. Distributer/Brand is Standard Intermotor.

That’s great. Had no idea that part was sold separately. I was working on sourcing 22awg copper manganese alloy wire to build my own wire wound resistor. I have sourced the flag terminal, rivet, terminal connectors, wire etc. it appears you got one of the last ru21 ballast resistors.

Well, crap. I couldn't find one anywhere this morning either. I had to look in my records to see when I bought it, March 2020. Mud member JohnyC used this one, not sure of the ohms. ND=Nippon Denso?

technically its a LOAD Resister

Thanks @ToyotaMatt . The ‘load resistor‘ makes sense as current flows across the wire wound resistor (measured at 2.4 ohms). I have no idea how many watts but would need that information to source an off the shelf resistor. The only item I cannot find is the fiberglass core that the 22awg copper wire wraps around. With that info, I can likely recreate the load resistor.

Additional information about this load resistor. The OEM Toyota Part # is 90919-04008.

That’s an impressive collection of semi electronic Toyota Landcruiser igniters. It looks like you have them on display at the New Toyota Landcruiser NLA Parts Museum.
