I knew Big Red would know somewhere to go.

If it’s rough after a gone wash down, could be as simple as distributor humidity, or water ponded is elsewhere. But unscrewing the distributor cap and drying it all up could cure it.

His prices though are pretty close to what Toyota charges - ugh! But he is a nice guy.

@krzyabncanuck isn't too far from you and most likely the best cruiser mechanic in the state

I lived in Wilmington for about 10 years and always went to JS&J on the corner of Market and Eastwood. They are more Honda specialists but they can fix anything and are really honest and do good work. I bought my 80 down there 4 years ago and took it to them to have it once over'd before driving it back to Charlotte.

I know this post is old but I followed it looking for a reliable garage to service my 2006 Tundra. Went to First Quality Imports for Timing Belt. Picked up the truck and drove it for a couple of days and noticed the temp was running a little high. Checked radiator and could not see coolant. Bought a gallon of coolant and still could not see coolant in the fill. Put another half gallon to get it to full. Called FQI and his response was he used a pressure fill that fills it and no other response. If you aren’t good enough to fill the coolant system I am not trusting you to work on my vehicles. They had performed minor service on my 4Runner without issue. His nonchalant response to me was not professional and failure to look in the radiator to verify full or not noticing you had not put anywhere near enough coolant was it for me. Happy trails
