My desmogged '79 FJ40 runs but was feeling like I had dropped an anchor. I only drive it about 10 miles to work but on one stretch it was hard to get up to 50 mph. A friend following me said it smelled a little rich. I cleaned the plugs and then went to check the timing but the #1 wire wouldn't trigger the timing light. Checking the other wires I found that the #4 was the same. I pulled the dist cap and found two carbon tracks. The truck had been running on 4 of the 6 cylinders and was only having trouble at the higher speeds.
One tough engine.
