Sourcing a coil wire for FJ40 (1 Viewer)

[cims1970fj40]

Does anyone know where I can get a coil wire for an FJ40. They are NLA through Toyota. I bought some NGK wires awhile back and the coil wire isn’t long enough. That being said I don’t want to buy the whole kit from another source just for that one wire. I have my igniter and coil on the fender vs it being on the block. Thanks in advance.

I just went through this, I was running a wire set for a FJ-60 (still available from the dealer) but was having a connection issue with the lead at the coil. I just couldn't keep in snug with a good connection and it would work loose and then I'd see misfires or starting issues. I ended up picking up a kit from NAPA that was a build your own plug wire kit, IIRC is was around $25. I ended up cutting off the old connection on the lead at the coil and used the hardware in the kit to crimp on a new connection and boot. Worked great. I still have the wires and can check the lengths of the wires, on mine my existing lead was 24" so I had room to use the original lead.

Thanks! That would be great if you could check the length.

Thanks! That would be great if you could check the length.

Let me check tonight and I’ll let you know.

<rant> Everyone's spark plug wires (even Denso) for FJ40s assumes the coil is mounted to the side of the block (early style)- even for a '78. I think I ended up using my old coil wire, or the old #1 spark plug wire for the coil.

I forgot to check this last night but here you go, this kit comes with 7MM silicone wire that looks pretty good, crimp connectors and boots. 6 total plug wires that are 36” long. Probably overkill for what you need but you could chop off a plug connector and use two crimp connectors and boots at each end to make your lead and have 5 wires left over. Heck I’d sell you what I have for $15 plus the ride.

I’ll keep you posted. Someone is looking to see if he has one. Thanks for getting back with me.
