you wana buy my elec dizzy, but its attached to a motor
not sure on what a complete setup woulld be worth, but the parts, new are expensive, new coil pack for mine was $160 alone

My 3y dissy stuffed out over a year ago. When I rang toyota for parts to fix it I was told that I could only buy a complete new dissy which was $1150.00. After the parts man consulted with head office he got back to me with a price of $225.00 including gst for a complete distributor.

hi thanks guys, are you talking about electronic dizzys or normal or is there no such thing as an electronic dizzy? sorry if i sound dumb but i dont no a great deal of things about motors.
thanks.

Yeah mine was just a normal dizzy, yep there is a electronic dizzy that came out in the 3y surpose less maintenance would be the main advantage no points or condensor to wear out,electronic you can pretty much set it and forget it.

yea mines electornic timing/dizzy. not entirely sure on the technical side, but the steup doesnt have points like standard dizzy setup, and the coil pack is internal, which is the expensive part. the setup outlasts points timing,you get a stronger ignition/spark, more reliable, easier to tune

Have a look on trademe under electronic ignition, a fella sells "Pertronix" (I think thats the brand) Ignition systems to replace the points ones. about $250. Looking at getting one for my FJ40.

ok thanks for the info makes more sence now. does anyone have an electronic dizzy for a 3y or a normal dizzy that wont cost me the earth? im running on a real tight budget to get the zuke fixed.
cheers

if your going to get a pertronix module you'll save money by importing direct from the states, probably get it half price.
just make sure you've got the right part number.

If you want to do it cheap ring Toyota and see if the part no's are the same for the 1y, 2y and 3y (being toyota they prob are but dont quote me on it) If so then there will be heaps of dead engines around, or try the wreckers. 3Y is pretty limited to early surfs and hiace vans, 1y and 2y went into all reange of toyota small/mid size cars.

ok thanks for the info]
