Afternoon
I have a question. I have an 80 Series Landcruiser 93 Petrol.
I’m chasing a Distributor for my truck.
Sourced 1 down
Sydney.
My question is,
Diesel engines do not have distributors?
Is this true?

G'day Dana M2
Technically speaking, the Diesel engine in an 80 Series Cruiser, has a 'Fuel distribution pump' but not an electrical or electronic 'Spark' distributor.
It might be worth your time, to visit ~ Offroad80s.com or LCOOl.org
These two Australian based web sites are a wealth of good information regarding Toyota 80 Series and other 4wd vehicles.
If you wan't to brave a raft of American related 80 series stuff, have a look on YouTube, plenty of petrol Cruiser info there.
Safe travels : Joe. F.

Any reason you need the whole distributor did a mechanic advise you ? Not being rude but if your not very mechanically minded make sure of what your doing or it may cost more if you stuff something up. Not a part that often needs replacing but I suppose it is getting old.
Also the dizzy cap needs to be in good nick it can cause issues, points(if it's not electronic), leads as
well. I would personally not get a 2nd hand one only new if it needs replacing then get it tuned by someone that knows their stuff..

Hi
And yes I am not mechanically minded.
Had a mechanic
check it over and was told to replace the Distributor as it wouldn’t start.
Will get him to
check the cap, points and leads also.
Thanks Batt
