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.
 
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.

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.

Careful, Matt likes to taunt you with his “Gypsy Treasures”…🙈
