Hello.

Post by BJA »

New to the group, but excited to be apart. Resident of Norman, Oklahoma and thought I was in the market for an FJ40 until I stumbled upon 1969 Patrol K60 in need of some TLC. Currently does not rim, but have been told by seller that it only needs a distributor.....from what I have read I may be in for a long road of sweat, pain and tears but I'm ready. Hope to meet everyone soon.

Welcome to 60Patrol! :text-welcomeconfetti: You're not the first FJ40 lover that the Patrol has converted. :D

You're not alone in OK. Bill will probably chime in with his location on OK.

Finding a distributor shouldn't be too hard. There are a couple of ways to go on that. Search the forum, there are a few threads regarding the distributor.

Post up or send me your VIN number and engine number and I'll see the it gets added to the Registry. :D
Beyond any hope for intervention

Welcome to 60Patrol! Congrats on the purchase...

The most common (and least expensive) drop in distributor seems to be the century model from Helmar:

And here is a post I made after I researched all the necessary replacement part numbers for this distributor, as well:

Another Okie patrol to come to life ?!
I'm in Owasso. Driving/restoring a "68 sold as 69" .
I'd welcome communication or a visit anytime.
Is your distributor missing, or just thought bad?

Flaggoni,
The distributor is missing. Once I'm up and running I'll pay you a visit.
