Yes, those advancers (the non-octane selector type) must be available as they show up on Aussie sites occasionally and are obviously available for production runs. Trouble is the cost makes it almost foolish not to simply replace the whole distributor. Unless of course one wants to keep every as original as possible.

That dealer will not ship to the USA, btw...

But if you can get them, I would buy one!

Maybe you can install the Petronix in the 19100-61180 dizzy to make it electronic?

All brand-new parts and electronic. That would be a great kit!

My CA spec 8/77 has a different canister with 2 vacuum line ports. I wonder if I can still drop in the 61180 and add a T connector for both vacuum lines? Or is mine different?

The 61180 will not be smog Compliant for 76 and newer Kalif but would work just fine. Some creative vacuum tube routing might make it look good enough to pass the visual, though.

Yea, creative routing. They don't pay so much attention that you can't get away with an extra 'T' junction.

IPTman, that dissy is both vacuum advance (yay) and vac retard (boo!).
To use the 1977 USA Fed (not Cali) vac advance only dissy, just remove the hose going to vac retard and cap it at the source.

What you can't do is "cap it at the source". They'll flag that for sure.

You can, however run lines with 'T's to wherever you want and put BBs in the lines you don't want to be active. To get proper vacuum advance for a '77 you need to port the carb.

Showing some ignorance here.... which is the retard? Also, should I cap the retard vac line and port on my Cali distributor now?

Don't cap it, just put a BB in it. It will still pass smog that way.

Excellent point. A BB is as good as a cap.

The 77-78 carbs have 2 ported vac fittings already. In the Toyota nomenclature they are #5 & #13. #5 is the primary driver of vac advance, w/ #13 running EGR.

Damn. I have a '75 carb on my '75.

 

[FJ40Jim]

The 75 (and maybe 76) Kali carbs are the only 2F carbs without ported vac. Easy to add during rebuild.

What are the chances of getting the b/3b air intake hose #2 reproduced ? Part number 17882-56020. Other than getting lucky with a second hand one I cannot source one anywhere.

No affiliation.

 

[Zimmi]

Would be nice to get new though, that's a lot of coin for second hand

 

[jgeoffr]

Just a tiny piece of additional info. Apparently the 61080 can also come with a black cap. I guess Toyota may have gone to a single colour.

How different is the b/3B air intake hose from the 2H air intake hose shown below?

View attachment 1342971

The B/2B/3B hose is actually 3 pieces. There are two hoses and a metal tube that connects them. I also think the length is longer than the 2H hose by 1-2". The air cleaner end also bends towards the air cleaner as opposed to the straight 2H hose. I didn't take mine off to confirm the hose diameters, but I think the end closest to the air cleaner is larger (~3") than the Venturi end (~2").

 

[Racer65]

Thanks @Wes . Your intake hoses look brand new!

 

[Spike Strip]

FWIW, the black dissy caps are from Denso non-Japan production. Not sure where they are made now, but probably East-Asia.?

 

[Racer65]

Still need to add texture and some tweaking, but here's a prototype of the holy grail:

 

[spotcruiser]

Nice.

Here's a peek at the tooling behind the floor mat:

 

[AdamKFarmer]

Damn, that's neat.

 

[tstepp920]

.............curse you for not doing floor mats for a 1980.

 

[ginmtb]

Can't wait to test fit it! Man that is looking really nice.

 

[cruiserkreutz]

Looking good, looking REAL good!
