That is gonna be one sweet ride once its done,

As a big toyota fan boy I'm very jealous of that land cruiser.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to any of the responses, I was out camping for the long weekend. I've read that that is the case, but some websites listed it as LA only and not poly, where as others said both, always good to double check. little or no spark. I didn't check the actual...

Has anyone ever used this kit on their car? https://www.manciniracing.com/eldicokit1.html I've been having ignition issues all spring and summer this year after having none last year. and if I can make those problems for 200$ its worth it to me, thank you.

thats basically what i did with a little help from a dead blow. Now see that would make too much sense.

Is reinstalling the timing cover supposed to be a huge pain, it come off super easy, but installing it with the oil pan in place makes it a huge pain to get both dowels lined up. Me just being idiot is also a possibilty, but I'm pretty sure its the car :P

then I pulled the rad to make getting the rest out easier. where I discovers that one side has come apart, guess I'll have to try my hand at soldering it back together when I start putting it back together. got the whole front of the engine off now. then I took an all important beer...

I haven't gotten to the under side yet, But I've basically stripped down to top side. here's a few pics of my progress. intake off, driver side valve look ok, passenger side are pretty oily and got some carbon build up. thermostat housing surface is still pretty rough and uneven after...

I'm sure that my car has a poly in it, but its not my daily right now. so it can be down for as long as I need it get it done :)

I was planing on using the rubber one if it was an either or situation. ugg, I have been spoiled working on late 80's jeeps and corollas. Thankfully I have an engine hoist, and if I had a stand I'd be tempted to just pull the whole engine as the heads and valve covers seem to be the only 2...

I'm in the process of resealing my engine and trans, some of the seal came with the car, some I had to get myself. I'm getting ready to do the rear main and the oil pan, both of these came with the car, I though the 2 piece rubber was a replacement for the rope style but both of these were in...

poached the resistor out of my valiant and the car started right up. thank you everyone.

the ballast resistor has probably gone bad then, as I already checked most of the wire connections before resorting to the stuff in my first post in hopes of an easy fix. thank you.

My car is a 1966 polara with the poly 318. I have spark when cranking, but not in the run position. I continuity tested the switch and its good So I made a "Y" shaped jumper and put the single end in the BAT connector put the second end in IGN 1 then the third in ST. This would make the car...
