I vote for Mark's rebuild, he'll tweak it, for max potential

Does he do distributors also.

I've had two City Racer's on my truck in 85,000 miles. Both experienced float failures and poor accelerator pump seals that caused massive leaks, that then turned to stumbles. They both became junk parts carbs.

Find an OEM core and send it to @mattressking

I'm running one of his now and it works great.

Find a spare distributor and send it to JimC, then wait. Toyota Land Cruiser specialty parts - https://tlcperformance.com/

Anyone know where I can find a spare dizzzy for an 85 fj60?

Curious best places to look besides mud.
Would vendors or junk vendors be the way to go usually, and how can you tell if the dizzy is still functional.
Thanks,

JimC, Mark, or @matressking and I think you will be happy.

Mark rebuilt my 60s carb and it runs great. I’m sending him my other 2F carb and my 3F as well once I get my rebuild kit from overseas.

3F carb rebuild kits are difficult to find here in the states - didn’t have any luck finding some specific for my 3F carb.

Rebuild the original carb. There ain't no better carb for a stock 2F than the OEM unit. And I am NOT one of the "gotta be OEM" fanatics either.

Mark...

Not sure if this is an option for you, but I ordered and ran this set-up while my distributor was being rebuilt by Jim C. (about two months) Then after getting my distributor back I posted the hei distributor in the MUD classifieds and sold it for 70 dollars less then I paid. Ran great and my 60 was not down while I waited. Just a thought.
