What is it for? Is that a ground wire?Leave in place
Use the oe grommet.View attachment 2531030Does anyone have a suggestion on how to use the supplied grommet to seal the distributor? This is in a 1976 FJ40. I think it is a stock distributor. 19100-61020
I was thinking about using oe grommet, but I will have to drill it out to get the new wires and grommet through it.Use the oe grommet.
Do you have a schematic of how it should be wired? I am under the impression that with the Pertronix, I don't need the igniter. Do I still need a ballast resistor? If I don't need these, how does the wiring look? I am trying to get a new to me cruiser back up and running, and nothing is connected or marked very well, so I am working off the schematic I found on Coolerman's links: http://www.globalsoftware-inc.com/coolerman/fj40/schematics/FJ40/1976FJ40/1976_Toyota_LC_FJ40.pdfThe yellow wire is for grounding the points. The other piece that contacts the cam is the points damper, obviously not needed if you don't have points.
Now that I have the grommet in, I went to put the magnet sleeve and the rotor on and they seem really loose. Directions say you may need to push magnet sleeve on, but mine just dropped on. The rotor is very loose too. Getting a new one today. Are there any other reasons it would be so loose?
