Ignition Distributor, Whats a good brand to buy? (2 Viewers)

[Ants29LC]

Hi all,

I heard all new distributors are no good. So what brand would be best for my FJ62 89'. I found world power systems and WAI Global, also CARDONE.

What do y'all suggest?

Thank you,

Stock. What's wrong with your existing distributor?

It is completely burnt out from the inside.

Pics please. The OEM distributor is practically bombproof.

I would look through the Mud classifieds and parting out sections for someone selling/parting a 3fe and just get a used one

With the Vacuum Adavance diaphragms being an issue and none of the parts being available any longer, I wouldn't buy another used distributor.

If you can handle the price, I really like the DUI HEI distributor. Made in the USA, lots of parts and very simple to tune.

By the time you buy a core distributor with a working advance, get a quality cap and rotor and get it recurved (if you're desmogged)...this isn't a bad deal.

FJ62 would be a 3FE no vacumn advance

most likely the reason the distributor "burnt out" is the fresh air intake and exhaust were probably not hooked up, the stock distributors work best with the air flow thru them.

X2 on finding a good used one in the classifieds. you could either swap the entire distributor or just the internals

^This. Good used distributor and ensure the venting in the cap is set up properly.

I ran a cardone in my fzj80 and I wouldn't recommend. There's no timing mark on the shaft like the OEM. The gear was half a tooth off where it should've been. That was set it the valve cover off and set to TDC. It worked, but I should've got an OEM one.
