I just made the 19220-61102 vacuum advance for '81+ FJ40 and FJ60. Pretty sure it works for '79 to '80 as well. Does it help any of the pre '79 cars?

My '84 FJ60 and both of my FJ40s have (or soon will have) FJ60 electronic ignitions. I may need at least one for a spare. Time to go out and check on the three distributors I already have.

When will it be available, I have multiple FJ60 distributors that these are bad on.

'79-'84 floor mat is coming along. No texture or color yet, and still kind of rough, but the shape is there, and so is the logo (for now, at least).

I have to ask, will this mat fit over an original 5 speed installation.

Will you be reproducing the uppers?

I have to ask, will this mat fit over an original 5 speed installation.

This would be all post 9/82 4X series four or five speed. Not sure how if a new mat might be pliable to stretch a little on the hump over time. Where my 79 is stored in a location with limited access. Even with the SST haven't been able to get the four speed shift cane removed. If I could get it out could slip the five speed inspection cover under my old mat to check the fit. Would give a idea but it has shrunk some and would do better conditioned and left in the sun for a while. Have it stored in a cool dry location.

It fits all 81-87 USA 2F distributors. The 75-80 dissys uses a much different vac canister.
The 81-87 dissys are good stuff, so this part could be a huge help for anybody building a 'best of' truck.

@FJ40Jim Do you have any specs on advance for this pod?

 

[thebigredrocker]

Specs for stock 81-87 USA distributor:

Max Mechanical Advance- 21*

Mechanical Advance "All In" RPM- 4000

Max Vacuum Advance (Inner Port)- 18-20*

Max Vacuum Advance (Outer Port)- 6-7*

Good stuff from 2005

You are getting distributor advance and crankshaft advance all mixed up here.

Distributor advance figures are read directly off the distributor machine.
Crankshaft advance is the numbers that come off the crankshaft.

A stock Cruiser distributor that has centrifugal advance of 13 degrees @2000 distributor RPM will give a crankshaft advance reading of 26 degrees @ 4000RPM installed in the truck. This is way too much BTW.

Mike, on your DUI setup, it sure sounds like the tag is a mix of dist RPM and crank timing. 23 degrees of dist timing would yield 46 degrees of crank advance (waaay too much). But the timing should be all in at 2000distributor RPM. if timing is all in at 2200 crank rpm, that's way too early, 'cause the engine is still climbing the power and cylinder pressure curve. Anyway, I expect the performance distributor to give 23 degrees crankshaft advance at 4400RPM.

FWIW, the typical Toyota electronic distributor will read 12 degrees mechanical advance @ 1900 distributor RPM and 11 degrees of vac advance. This gives a total 23 degrees of distributor advance or 46 degrees crankshaft advance. This is why an FJ60 w/ a healthy engine and no smog equipment will rattle like crazy under load. We want a max total ignition timing of 34-38 degrees on the 81-87 engines, a few more degrees on the earlier low-compression engines. The way to achieve this is curve the distributor for 7 degrees vacuum, 21 degrees centrifugal and 9 degrees base. Max crankshaft advance is then 37 degrees.

This concludes today's lesson on the vagaries of distributor advance. If there are any questions, please see me when I have no class.

@FJ40Jim Do you have any specs on advance for this pod?

Yes, there are specs in the later FSM. There are also empirical specs gathered by testing many of the stock distributors.

My dealer claims there are now 3 of these left in the US. My CCoT repro one blew up the other day. This is the latch assembly - not just the lock.

Perhaps at dealers or depots. I know there are a few more than that with Cruiser shops, still a good part number in bulk @ Japan, UAE, Australia.

Are you going to do the logo on the ‘78 and earlier mats?!

This is amazing thanks for reproducing these.

Very nice work sir.

Well done!
