Which Pertronix Ignitor kit?

[Lucagoesoffroad]

Hi guys, I have a 1984 FJ45 (2F) and I've read a lot here about the Pertronix Ignitor conversion kit. I went on their website and they have 3 options: mechanical advance, vacuum advance, and lobe sensor.
I searched among the threads but I couldn't find what exact models you are using...! Which one do I have to buy? I think I'll also add the flame thrower coil, since I'm opening the hood...
Thank you very much

hi,,

I run the 1665A,, in my 40 with a Toyota distributor 19100-61080,,

Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits to replace original mechanical points & troublesome factory ignition. Dependable, maintenance free, and easy to install. Never Replace Points Again. The Original Ignitor is ideal for restorations.

I believe its good practical update to traditional points,, just be sure when mounting that the hardware doesn't lock down the breaker plate and keep it from rotating ,,

post a pic of what dizzy you have or plan on running,, as it may be different.

Thank you very much! I have this distributor, the coil was replaced yesterday.. Do you think I should upgrade the coil to Flame Thrower? Maybe the high performance one? I don't mind the small expense if it also gives a little bit of increase in performance/reliability!

coild upgrades are waste of time and money, unless your current one has s*** the bed.

Does your breaker [plate look like this?

I think I know which Pertronix you need, let me look into it some more.

Here are some photos to start. The first photo is a non-US small cap distributor that's pretty much the same as yours. The second photo compares two F engine distributors that I refurbished, one has the early breaker plate and the other one I modified to use the later breaker plate like the one in your distributor. The third photo is an early 2F distributor with the original breaker plate, notice that the points are the same as in the F engine distributor with the later breaker plate. The fourth photo shows an early 2F distributor with a Pertronix installed. That's the unit you need - the points mounting holes and points/cam geometry are the same as in your distributor. I'll look up the Pertronix part number now.

And check out this thread:

What is the difference between Pertronix 91662 and 91662LS?

All I got from the company is that 91622LS is a Lobe Sensor version and doesn't use a magnet sleeve. How do both work? Any difference in reliability? Thank you

Thank you very much! I was thinking of the 91662, then I read the Lobe Sensor thread, and I got more confused because I don't know what a lobe sensor is and there was a lot of technical speech that I didn't understand..! I was about to order the 91662, now you suggest the 91662LS. Here in Amazon UAE I can have delivered the normal 91662, without LS. Will it work? Should I absolutely look for the LS? Please note that I want a "ignitor II" system, not a normal one, for the adaptive stuff, key on, etc... Sorry, I don't have enough technical skills to understand 100% the difference between kits, that's why I ask things that might seem dumb!

I wanna know what lobe iiiiiis...
I want you to shooooow meeeeee...

The lobe sensing version doesn't need the black piece that slips over the cam. I think I have a photo of a distributor with a 91662LS installed. I'll check.

Lobe sense version

The lobe sensing version doesn't need the black piece that slips over the cam. I think I have a photo of a distributor with a 91662LS installed. I'll check.

I really appreciate all the details but, technically speaking, my knowledge is close to zero. In UAE I can source a 91662 but not a 91662LS. My question is:
Can I buy the 91662 or, for some reasons, it won't work and I absolutely need the LS version?
Please, just say "go ahead with the 91662" or "no, only the LS will work".
I'm getting a bit paralyzed with all the technical details in front of me and I don't understand if the 91662 will work anyway.
Thank you!

Go ahead with the 91662, you'll be fine.
