Anyone know where I could get my hands on a electronic distributor for a 1986 FJ70 Cruiser with a 3f in it?,

Hi, I run a Lumenition Optronic Ignition system in my 3F, you use your standard distributor and the optric eye replaces the points, I fitted this 10yrs ago, sealed up the distributor, adjusted the timing and haven't had the cap off since. Do a google and you will have plenty to read. From memory I think Kelford Cams have the agency for a after market electronic system but that was big dollarsssssss. I got my Lumenition from Larry Mulholland can't think of the name of his firm he specializes in Minis and is on Carmen Rd Hornby CHCH. The old 3F's do have a habit of closing up the points and that becomes a bugger of a job replacing and adjusting when you have to keep the cap sealed. I could sell you a complete system ------ but you would have to take the rest of the Cruiser with It :shock: . Keeping the distributor dry is the only time

SOMETHING DRY IS BETTER THAN SOMETHING WET,

FITZY.

Thanks Fitzy, I will call Swift Automotive in the morning, I have bought Mini parts of him before, I didn't realize he sold other parts.
